Ssh from windows to unix server ?

[Sammy_2]

I am ssh ing from windows to unix (password less). public in ojrdhes3 authorized_keys but I get this error
"No account present for user" . The user esc_dbg is present in /etc/password.
Why I am getting this ?

Shalom,

Very little to go on here.

I guess pam is not configured to use the /etc/passwd file or the auth failure is occurring on an external server like an ldap server.

Yes, this is on unix ldap. But, it is suppose to look at /etc/passwd first and then ldap.
Let me do some more digging. Thanks Steve.

>The user esc_dbg is present in /etc/password.

another idea: there might be an inconsistency in your passwd file. check with:

# pwck 2>&1 | grep esc_dbg
