[SSI-users] Unable to ssh into root node

[Peter B. <pet...@ho...>]

Hello.

I've built a RH9 based cluster, with a dual Xeon box as the root node.
When I boot the cluster kernel, I'm unable to ssh into the root node, as
any user. After typing in the password, the prompt just hangs. I never
get a shell, and ctrl-c is unable to kill the login
process. /var/log/messages reports "sshd(pam_unix)[4128]: session closed
for user root", or whatever user I try to log in as.

I've looked through the list for things like "ssh", "login" and a
combination of those, but the only thing I could find that looked
relevant was something about commenting out a line about
pam_securetty.so in /etc/pam.d/login, which did not help.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,

Peter Backlund
