I sent this to the ssh list since I didnt get any responses from this
one.....maybe this will help jog someones memory :-)


attached mail follows:

Hello,

I installed patch kit 5 on an ES40 Tru64 version 5.1 machine and suddenly my ssh isnt working anymore. I can telnet into the machine fine.
I can ssh out to other machines fine. After a day of work I decided to go ahead and upgrade to the latest version (3.2.2p1) and upgraded ssl
to 0.9.6d. Same thing.....

I can ssh in as long as I enter a passphrase to use but if I try to let the system prompt me for a password everything breaks. I see in the
logs that my password is being accepted and on the screen I see the messages which tell me the last successful login and the last
unsuccessful login but then the session is disconnected.

ssh was compiled with configure --with-local-path=/usr/local --with-tcp-wrappers --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl

below the ssh_config and the sshd_config files are attached.........

thanks for any help,
darryl cook

# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See ssh(1)

# Configuration data is parsed as follows:
# 1. command line options
# 2. user-specific file
# 3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
# Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the
# configuration file, and defaults at the end.
