I have this problem on two different red hat 6.1 ssh machine. When I try to login I am always decline. It ignore my .shosts ( which is correclty configure) and my password. I use openssh2.9p1 on Red Hat. I install Linux-PAM 0.75 Everything was working fine with the 2.5 version of openssh Trace from sshd in debug mode. debug1: userauth-request for user benoit service ssh-connection method none debug1: attempt 0 failures 0 debug2: input_userauth_request: setting up authctxt for benoit debug2: input_userauth_request: try method none Failed none for benoit from 127.0.0.1 port 1136 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user benoit service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 1 failures 1 debug2: input_userauth_request: try method password Failed password for benoit from 127.0.0.1 port 1136 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user benoit service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 2 failures 2 debug2: input_userauth_request: try method password Failed password for benoit from 127.0.0.1 port 1136 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user benoit service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 3 failures 3 debug2: input_userauth_request: try method password Failed password for benoit from 127.0.0.1 port 1136 ssh2 Connection closed by 127.0.0.1 debug1: Calling cleanup 0x8063034(0x0) content of sshd_config # $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.34 2001/02/24 10:37:26 deraadt Exp $ # This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin # This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.
