This is caused by the fact that you're using MD5 passwords (use --with-md5-passwords if you don't want to use PAM) and you haven't enabled PAM (--with-pam). As a rule, I should say that you should use the RPM's unless you know what you're doing. ./configure --help gives some pointers. -- 8<--- Hi I installed openssh and i tried to log into my machine from another machine. It says permission denied even though I have given the correct passwd. I built openssh from the sources on a PIII box running redhat6.2 I installed openssh removing my ssh.com's ssh in the hope that it will work fine too Please help Debo -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.

Further to this, check your logs - they often provide the vital clues. Andrew Bartlett abartlet at pcug.org.au -- Andrew Bartlett abartlet at pcug.org.au
