Hallo out there,
I've got a strange problem after updating my openssh-installation
from 2.9.9p2 (SuSE-package) to openssh-3.1p1 (Installation from the
source with a modified src.rpm). I will give you as much information
as possible and I hope there is anybody who can help me. I asked in
detail in usenet-groups but nobody had any idea to fix my problem by
configuration.
My system is a SuSE-Linux 7.2:
-kernel 2.4.16-4GB (original SuSE-7.2-package)
-pam 0.75 (SuSE-7.3-package after rebuilding)
-previous openssh-version: 2.9.9p2 (original SuSE-7.2-package)
On this system I could work with openssh as expected: authentication
works with pubkey- and password-authentication (other
authentication-methods were not allowed). After updating my
openssh-package to the current version pubkey-authentication still
works but password-authentication fails in every case.
I compiled openssh-3.1p1 as follows (options included in the
src.rpm):
./configure \
--mandir=%{_mandir} \
--prefix=%{prefix} \
--infodir=%{_infodir} \
--sysconfdir=/etc/ssh \
--libexecdir=%{prefix}/lib/ssh \
--with-tcp-wrappers \
--with-pam
make
Software- and package-building works fine.
After installation I can connect to localhost via pubkey-
authentication (server running in debug-mode):
andreas at home:~ > ssh localhost
Enter passphrase for key '/home/andreas/.ssh/id_rsa':
Last login: Sat Mar 9 19:48:41 2002 from console
Have a lot of fun...

When I disable my authorized_keys-files I would expect
password-authentication - which takes place, but I've got no
connection even if I type my correct password (you can be sure that
the password used is correct):
andreas at home:~ > mv ./.ssh/authorized_keys2 \
./.ssh/authorized_keys2.orig
andreas at home:~ > ssh localhost

That is the part of /var/log/messages generated by PAM:

Here is my /etc/pam.d/sshd:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so debug # \
set_secrpc
auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_env.so
account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
password required /lib/security/pam_pwcheck.so md5 \
use_cracklib
password required /lib/security/pam_unix.so md5 \
use_first_pass use_authtok
session required /lib/security/pam_unix.so none # \
trace or debug
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
This /etc/pam.d/sshd works fine with openssh-2.9.9p2 (SuSE-package).
My /etc/ssh/sshd_config is empty (all entries are comments) except
for the sftp-subsystem. My ~/.ssh/config is empty too.
I think there is a problem with PAM, but I'm sure my configuration is
valid. It seems that openssh passes a wrong password to PAM which
results in an error.
So, much thanks for your effort fighting through my infos, I hope
there is anybody who has any idea!
Ciao
Andreas
