Why we can't login ? (fwd)

[Tal Dayan]

Hi Jim,

Yes, we had the pam.d/sshd in place but the problem is that by default
it does not install the PAM support at all. When we reinstalled it with the
'--with-pam' switch of ./configure, it worked just fine.

I would expect the password authentication to be enabled by default since it
a very common method of authentications.
