sshd - Get login & password but cannot login. Why?

[josel]

Howdy!

SuSE 9.1 Professional

I am experimenting with ssh to allow connection from LAN PCs and others remote sites. Using Anzio as ssh client (

http://www.anzio.com)

I am successfully getting to a dialog box where user ID and password is entered but I cannot go beyond this point.

I read through sshd_config but cannot figure out what I need to do by simply reading this file. I want to log in using my user ID "remote" with password "goplay".

What must I do? What are the steps to create a key for "remote" so that "remote" can log in? My understanding is that server is not authenticating my password.

Oh, sshd_config has UsePAM set to yes and AuthenticatePassword set to no

Your assistance, as usual, will be greatly appreciated.

Regards;

I don't know anything about Suse, Anzio, or how you installed SSH. However, every SSH install I've done that intends to use PAM requires the additional of an "ssh" file into the /etc/pam.d/ folder.

This ssh.pamd sample file is normally included in your SSH distribution and may have been automatically installed, but it doesn't sound as if it's working perheps?

Check for this file being in place where your PAM.d looks for config files. This is the first best place to start.
