           Summary: password authentication fails
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: snark at annwm.lbl.gov


After upgrading from openssh-3.1p1-1 to openssh-3.4p1-1 (built locally
from srpm downloaded from openssh.org), passwordAuthentication fails
to work. 

log messages are:
Jul 17 17:56:24 annwm sshd(pam_unix)[13376]: authentication failure; logname=
uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=pdsflx005.nersc.gov  user=henp
Jul 17 17:56:26 annwm sshd[13376]: debug1: PAM Password authentication for
"henp" failed[7]: Authentication failure

Configuration files have not changed between versions. If I revert to old
version of ssh, problem vanishes.

PublickeyAuthentication and RSAAuthentication methods both work fine.

Base system is RedHat 6.2, kernel 2.4.17
