PAM error on openssh-2.3.0p1/HP-UX

[Stephan Hendl]

Hi all,

I try to login from a Linux Box with ssh-1.2.27 to an HP-UX Server with openssh-2.3.0p1 using PAM. After a couple of login the HP-UX disables my account with the error message: Too many unsuccesful logins. It seems to me - and the logfile says it too - that the first attemt to authenticate myself via Password fails and the second attempt via rsa-key works. Now the counter of unsuccesful logins is added by one and after 5 logins I am disabled.

I use the ssh-agent technology with rsa-keys. The required PAM-Patch is installed. What shell I do?

The second problem is that at the end of a session some PAM related file could not be deleted. See logfile below.

Thanks for help!
