PasswordAuthentication fails in openssh3.7.1p1 as it does notuse PAM

[Lalith Rajendran (CW)]

Thanks for the information Peter. I fixed this by back porting the PAM
support implementation for password-authentication from openssh 3.9 to
openssh 3.7.1p1. (Bug 874 - (Re)Add PAM PasswordAuthentication support
).

I am also seeing another issue after I upgraded to 3.7.1p1. If I try
logging in through putty (keyboard interactive authentication), it is
not prompting for password the first time. It is prompting for password
only on the second attempt and only then I am able to login.

I searched for information regarding this problem but could not find
any.

Is this a known issue in openssh 3.7.1p1?

Thanks,
Lalith

Hello Lalith,

That is REALLY old software.

I guess you have some work to do in the code then.

I would suggest that you use a 5.x version of OpenSSH..
