| The machine is on my home lan, but my router forwards a port to the ssh port on the machine so I can log into it when I'm at work, for example.
What happens is that she is simply asked for her password over and over until the number of tries exceeds the password retry limit (currently set to 6) as though the password is mistyped or no password is entered.
I have tried to ssh in using her user from the box itself (which does indeed go through the sshd protocol handshake), and from another machine on my lan with the same result. It just appears as though the password does not match.
I created yet another user and tried it with this user and got the same problem. I don't know what the difference is between what I did with the first user created and the second or third, other than the first user created was during the setup. This is why i suspect there's some missing interaction between keychain and PAM. |
