"PAM rejected by account configuration" and "fatal: monitor_read: unsupported request: 24" problem at secong sshd instance

Hi,

I setup two sshd instance (using OpenSSH_3.5p1 bins on redhat7.2  kernel 
2.4.20-19.7smp ) in order to achieve differnet sshd settings (e.g use 
different auth.method) on two different network interfaces (both on port 
22).

For example to setup Hostbased authetication on the 1st sshd
and RSA pub. key auth. on the second:

The 1st instance config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config looks like:

  Protocol 2
  ListenAddress 10.0.0.1
  PidFile /var/run/sshd.pid
  SyslogFacility DAEMON
  LogLevel DEBUG3
  IgnoreRhosts yes
  HostbasedAuthentication yes
  PubkeyAuthentication no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  PermitEmptyPasswords no

The 2nd instance config file: /etc/ssh2/sshd_config
almost the same with the necesary differences:

  Protocol 2
  ListenAddress 10.0.0.2
  PidFile /var/run/sshd2.pid
  SyslogFacility DAEMON
  LogLevel DEBUG3
  IgnoreRhosts yes
  HostbasedAuthentication yes
  PubkeyAuthentication no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  PermitEmptyPasswords no

( the second instance started with : sshd -f /etc/ssh2/sshd_config 
without any problem)

When I started the two daemon, the first instance
( which uses the default /etc/ssh conf. dir.)
always worked properly (login from host 10.0.0.11 as user2)
independently form the used auth. method
, but the second daemon always failed after the successfull 
authentication with

   "PAM rejected by account configuration[]: User account has expired"
   and
   "fatal: monitor_read: unsupported request: 24"

error messages (see detailed logs below ).

I also tried to run only the second instance, and the same problem
appeared! So it seems for me that the problem is reduced to using non 
default sshd config file!

Any ideas what can be the problem?

PAM thinks the account has expired.  Check it with "chage -l 
accountname" and if it is, unexpire it ("chage -E" I think, check
the
man page).

I suspect that your first sshd was compiled without PAM support and the 
second was compiled with it.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
