OpenSSH on Slackware issue

[darklord at neonshadow.net]

I have encountered problems with OpenSSH installs on the Slackware version 7.x distributions of linux. Installation of OpenSSL and then OpenSSH works fine, and then launching sshd works... until somebody changes their password using the passwd command. At which point sshd rejects all logins and I have not been able to clear this problem. Would you have any ideas/suggestions/patches I could try?
