openssh unix dev - Feb 2000 - Authentication problem

Hi,

I am unable to use the linux port of openssh since it keeps telling me that
I fail the password authentication or that there was an
"unknown message during authentication: type 4", I am giving it the
correct
password and using a standard configuration of sshd.
I'm using Slackware 7.0 and the latest version of both openssh and openssl
(1.2.2 and 0.9.4).

I'm not sure this is the right place to send this to but since i
couldn't
find any help in any of the docs I did.

/Andreas
