Hello,
First of all, I have already read the archives ;)
I have installed openssh 1.2.3 on a linux machine (slackware
7.0) and have that authentication failure problem.
Slackware originally doesnt implement PAM, and with these
problems with ssh I tried to install it, and it works fine, but ssh keeps
complaining about passwords...
this is a paste of a debug run of ssh:
debug: sshd version OpenSSH-1.2.3
debug: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0.
Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

I have created ssh entries on pam.conf, but no help.
Can someone give me a help on this?
Thanks!
Forster
