similar to: 3.7.1P2, PermitRootLogin and PAM with hidden NISplus passwords

It works for the "yes" case but not for the "without-password" case. The function that checks (auth_root_allowed(auth_method) is special cased for "password". The Pam case sends "keyboard-interactive/pam" which like all other authentication methods except password succeeds. Here is a patch to make it work for me. Please feel free to criticize as

Hi, I am using OpenSSH 3.9p1. For " UsePAM yes/no " option with " PermitRootLogin without-password", the server functionality differs. For " UsePAM yes ", the server allows authentication thru password, meanwhile " UsePAM no " does not. I have fixed that problem and the patch is given below.

An observation and a question on the new version of OpenSSH. With previous version of OpenSSH, using something like pam_ldap to authenticate users against an LDAP directory worked great, however with 3.8p1 this is no longer the case. If I try to log into a machine with an account under "LDAP's control", I always get password failures. However, using an account with a ssh key

Hi , I have two problems when i went through a) the man page of sshd_config and b) the comments quoted in sshd_config file itself. They are given below. a) >From the man page of sshd_config: "If UsePAM is enabled, you will not be able to run sshd(8) as a non-privileged user." I changed the permission of the hostkeys to a non-privileged user and tried to run sshd alongwith

Hi All, I noticed that if I put: AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys in my sshd_config file, pub/priv key authentication no longer worked. I am using OpenSSH_5.4p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8n 24 Mar 2010 on Archlinux. Sam ****************** Here is my WORKING config ****************** Port 22 ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 Protocol 2 PermitRootLogin no PubkeyAuthentication yes #AuthorizedKeysFile

Hi, I have an auth module for PAM that I wrote a few years ago called pam_vsd.so. The idea is that a user must have a certain privilege before they can successfully authenticate. Without the privilege the PAM module will return PAM_PERM_DENIED. However I find that in OpenSSH 3.7.1p2, I can easily subvert this check simply by hitting return 3 times on connection i.e. [nick at localhost

Hi, I am not sure this is a bug in Openssh or not. I am running Openssh 4.1p1. with openssl 0.9.7g Scenario: Due to audit enabled on the system, I will need to set Uselogin to yes so that audit will track system call. But when try to login to system with a LDAP user. I get the following. eg: [n113839 at r3ent15pc ~]$ ssh tfstst1 -l ntesting1 ntesting1 at tfstst1's password: Login incorrect

I'm running version 4.7p1 of OpenSSH on a Linux system (it was originally a RedHat system, but I've changed almost everything.) When I originally built OpenSSH I used the config option --without-pam, and installed the software in /usr/local. I explicitly forbade root login with sshd (by setting the PermitRootLogin to "no" in the sshd_config file), but found that I could login as

[ Sorry for the length of this; I felt it better to provide potentially too much info, rather than not enough. I've probably missed something that's important, though! ] I have an odd problem with 5.1p on RHEL3 if "UsePAM yes" and "UsePrivilegeSeparation no" is set. The code detects that the user password is aged (according to shadow) but then fails to let me

Hello all, I was running some tests with openssh 3.7.1p2 and I noticed that PermitRootLogin without-password does not work when PAM is enabled. In fact, when PAM is enabled, PermitRootLogin will work as "yes" if " without-password" is used, no matter what kind of authentication is used for root login. Is that a bug, I missed something in the configurations, or expected

Hi all, I think that there is a security problem with the PermitRootLogin option. I asked an root ssh connection: $ ssh root at machine root at machine's password: I typed no password, this prompt stayed in place. In a second time, I changed the PermitRootLogin to no, and then restart ssh server. Third, I typed the password on the previous prompt, and the access was allowed. I then

Hello, I'm currently experiencing the issue laid out in this thread from last year: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=106908815129641&w=2 The discussion that ensued resulted in a number of ideas on how best to 'fix' this issue. The two that seemed most reasonable were: 1. implement a pubkey-only option to PermitRootLogin that would only allow root to login

Hi there ! I have an issue with my OpenSSH + PAM configuration on a RedHat Advanced server 2..1 I want to authenticate users connecting to a server using ssh against a radius server. The radius client/server part works ok when I test it with some utilities. I think I have a problem with my ssh which does not pass the username/password to my pam sshd module. I have upgraded to openssh-4.2p1.

Hello everyone, We are setting up a server at work, and we have run into something that I am not sure how to resolve. We have set up sshd (OpenSSH server) on the machine. We have placed ssh keys into each user's home directory that needs to access the system (and they work). We want to disable everyone from logging in, using a password, utilizing ssh keys only to access the system. I have

Steps to reproduce: 1) PermitRootLogin no in sshd_config 2) login with "root" user from other host Present behaviour: 1) it asks for password 3 times and only then close the connection. 2) cpu consumption during bruteforce "attacks". Expected behaviour: Immediate disconnect/login fail Workaround is to change ssh port, or ban IP after some login fails, or limit IP that can

I have "PermitRootLogin no" in my sshd_config, but under Tru64 and SIA, the root login attempts still get passed to the SIA system (so I get lots of warnings about failed root logins). On systems with a "max failed attempts" setting, the root account can be locked out this way. I started looking at the code, and I'm not sure I understand what I see. In auth-passwd.c,
