Hi all,
On a couple of our servers running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64), we have encountered some intermittent problems when users try to log on using ssh and failed:
ssh user@machine Password: xxxxxx Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive.
This error comes from PAM, and as far as I know it can mean one of two things: either the password or username was wrong, or PAM failed to contact the password source (for example failed to read /etc/shadow, or failed to contact the LDAP server for some reason) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
