I just built stock openssh-5.5p1's on a recent Fedora, and sshd actually accepts it if you manually edit /etc/{passwd,shadow}, both with and without PAM enabled. $ ssh -p 2022 -l "testuser/" localhost Password: [...] USER=testuser/ LOGNAME=testuser/ Sorry, but whatever the problem is, it's not in the stock sshd. There may be some modification in the sshd, or it could be some other problem. -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience.
