Neil,

Try sshing into the box from itself.  I suspect you will find that it 
doesn't work that way either.  Red Hat uses PAM, and OpenSSH appears to 
be a tiny bit flaky in support of it.  There are two possible reasons 
this might happen.  One is that you need to copy 
$source/contrib/redhat/sshd.pam (or sshd.pam-7.x for 7) to 
/etc/pam.d/ssh (note that the name of the file changes).  If it still 
doesn't work, try compiling again with "--with-md5-passwords" as a 
configure option.  I have 2.5.2 running fine with ssh.com clients, but I 
had the same problem you are having now at first.
