Hi, This seems to be a well known problem, but for the life of me I can't find anything relevant to being a well known solution, this is basically the last place I have to check so I'm hoping someone can help, enough of the crap on with the problem! I have installed; OpenSSH 2.1.1 with pam support Redhat 7.0 with Pam support PAM Radius module pam_radius_auth my /etc/pam.d/sshd file looks like; #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth required /lib/security/pam_radius_auth.so password sufficient /lib/security/pam_radius_auth.so session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so my /etc/raddb/server file looks like; 10.10.10.10 secret 5 ok so that's not the real IP or shared secret but that part works! When I try to log in using SSH, it asks me for a username and password, contacts the radius server and according to the rad.log it sends a successful accept acknowledgement back to the client(ssh server), but on the machine running the ssh server it seems to think the account has expired! and fails the login; Aug 5 03:02:41 netmon sshd[2370]: PAM rejected by account configuration: User account has expired Aug 5 03:02:41 netmon sshd[2370]: Failed password for guest01 from 10.20.10.20 port 1421 ssh2 can anyone enlighten me as to a fix for this? I have tweak here and there but nothing works, it always gets the same results. Thanks, TJ
