Re: how to disable pam_ssh
You now have instructions on how to do this. But you may end up with no ssh connectivity or a security hole.
Can you explain why you wish to do this?

Re: how to disable pam_ssh
There was a Security Audit and in that audit the auditor found that pam_ssh is enabled and as per there document the pam_ssh should be disable since there is CVE threat in it..
so I have decided to disable the pam_ssh do u see any risk in disabling pam_ssh??

Re: how to disable pam_ssh
Yes I see a risk.
totally disabling pam_ssh might lead to problems.
The entire point of a pam_ssh configuration is to insure that authentication of ssh follows some logical pattern.
Commenting it out might be a bigger problem.
Security auditors are a strange bunch. They need to find stuff in order to justify their existence.
In this case, I'd need to see why they think this is a problem. I would not do this without a good reason.

Re: how to disable pam_ssh
They may have a problem with your pam_ssh configuration. I find it difficult to believe that they would want you to just comment it out.
They may want a stronger configuration, which they should recommend.
