[Fink-users] OpenSSH Authentication problems under Tiger?

[Diamond S. <dia...@ma...>]

Background:
I've been installing a new copy of OpenSSH on Tiger due to numerous  
problems with the built-in one (DNS resolution that shouldn't be  
happening, problems with port forwarding, etc). I installed fink,  
used FinkCommander to install openssh and all dependencies, then set  
up my host keys and copied in my existing sshd_config file. Finally,  
I shut down the current daemon (service ssh stop), and started the  
new one (/sw/sbin/sshd -ddd).

Problem:
I cannot login to the new SSH client, presumably due to  
authentication problems. I am prompted for my password, but it fails  
every time. I tried "EnablePAM" and "UsePAM" set to yes; it didn't  
help. Nothing interesting I saw in the debug log:
debug2: load_server_config: filename /sw/etc/ssh/sshd_config
debug2: load_server_config: done config len = 138

I know OpenSSH problems are a frequent occurrence on this list, but I  
didn't see anything in the archives that helped my problem.
