chris, 3 thoughts:
1. do you have a file /etc/pam.d/ssh?
2. are you trying to login as root? try a different user.
3. look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
4. silly thought -- is your account name on the hpux the same as your
account name on the linux machine?
do you have woody? i can send you my config files if you're missing them.
