open-ssh and trusted mode problem

[henk baars]

Hi

I installed the HP built package for openssh and converted my server to trusted mode. After that I have issues with password resets, but only for openssh.

If I reset a password to a length > 8, ssh connections will fail with the message:
Failed password for XXXX from 127.0.0.1 port 57777 ssh2

However the same password works fine for telnet and ftp.

Passwords with length = 8 work fine for ssh too.

HP-UX version = 11.11i
SSH:
T1471AA A.04.40.006 HP-UX Secure Shell with
OpenSSH version = OpenSSH_4.4p1-hpn12v11, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006, basically the latest build I could find.

Does this build not support tcb? If it doesnt, ist there a build that does? Or am I missing something here?

Hi,
have you checked UsePAM in sshd_config
as per

Hi, UsePam is set to no, I forgot to tell. But the issue looks very similar to the problem in that thread.
I restarted sshd to be sure as well. But still the same problem.

Sorry I misread that thread - UsePAM should be set to yes I think - so the problem looks similar.
However if I set UsePam to yes, I am disconnected immediately but I have to go through the PAM configuration to be debug that. Thanx
