Hi, If there is a place to post this, please advise, but I am stuck. I have recently installed openssh-1.2.3 on a Red Hat 6.1 installation. Everything compile ok but I don't get no password auththenticcation. So I recompiled openssh-1.2.3 without PAM support and it still does not work. I can log into the system otherwise (shadow password is enabled). Here is what I have in my /var/log/messages: Mar 27 19:13:11 localhost sshd[23711]: Failed password for itchy from 199.174.197.138 port 1022 Mar 27 19:13:11 localhost sshd[23711]: Connection closed by 199.174.197.138 Any suggestions how I might enable a more verbose error log or get some idea of what is failing? Thanks, --Paul T.

Like I previously stated to you, my RH product > contains no references to ssh anything due to licenesing restrictions > (RSA?).Perhaps at this point you want to tell the list how you configured/compiled openss{h,l}. Seeing the exact command lines can give us hints. Also, describing your system exactly can help, since we run openssh on all kinds of systems. I am running it on Solaris 2.6, 2.7, and Redhat Linux 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2beta installed from customized rpms that do not use rsaref.> > My questions have been concerned with how to enable debugging, > etc. in openssh.Part of the debugging is provided by openssh, but in your case you may need the mailinglist as well.

If that is the case, what does openssh have to do with RedHat?

If you want to rebuild from source, consider rebuilding the SRPM.
