Re: [SLE] resolved: ssh problem with passwd on SUSE 9.0

Looking at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-security&m=106706811709000&w=2 It appears there is a bug somewhere in the mix between: putty / sshd / pam If I understand it correctly, in SUSE 9.0 sshd is configured to exclusively use pam for authentication. With standard password authentication, that is working fine for Linux ssh clients, but it is not working with putty. I have followed the threads suggestion of directly enabling password authentication in sshd_config if you want to use putty. I'm not sure that this has any negative features, but it was obviously not the plan for 9.0. I'm surprised I have not seen this come up on SLE before. Greg -- Greg Freemyer
