redhat 6.1 and openssh 3.1p1

[Daniel Mayoss]

Hi,

I *really* hope this hasn't been fixed before, but I have a problem
which appears to be a bug in openSSH 3.1p1

Basically, it doesn't work...

sshd runs fine, root can log in fine, but a normal user cannot. The
error given to the user is simply 'permission denied'

I'm running a plain vanilla redhat 6.1 (a bit old, I know) with openSSL
as the SSL implementation.

I installed a different ssh implementation (from ftp.ssh.fi - I compiled
both, actually) and that works fine with all users.

Here is the debug output from sshd:
