I also couldn't login via ssh using a password. Then I tried using the serial console: I could login without entering a password!!! Then I installed a public user key from a remote host into ssh/authorized_keys, and so I could ssh into the guest from that remote host. A third problem was that I couldn't change a password: I got an Authentication Token Manipulation Error. When looking into /var/log/messages I discovered that all my problems were PAM-related. Then I stumbled over bug 697670 which gave me the clue what to look for: Missing entries in /etc/pam.d/common-xxx files. common-password an common-auth were missing entries that are present in the corresponding .rpmnew files; in both cases i.a. the required module pam_unix2.so was left out. This is also true for common-session, but I'm unaware whether this causes problems too. Moving the 2 PAM configuration files with the corresponding .rpmnew ones solved all the problems described above. So please correct the XEN guest installation process!!!!
