Openssh password issue

[HPP]

Hi all,
I upgraded Openssh from A.03.71.000 to A.03.81.002 on HP-UX 11.00. I downloaded it from software.hp.com website. After upgrading to A.03.81.002, openssh does not accept certain passwords. I can login via telnet using the same password. Like for example it did not take the password "wpor(8123)~".

Has anybody had or have the same issue?

Any help in this regard could be of great help.

Thanks

I can say that this behavior did not come up in my tests.

I do recommend personally against certain special characters in passwords. If you have a number or two, some capitalization and a little randomness you're fine.

I suppose I could run a test and set a user id to that password.

I suggest you change the user password and see if it starts working. If so, you have a bug. If not, you may have a permissions issue on the .ssh directory or one of the files in there.

Hi,
I removed entire SSH package and re-installed again and it worked.
