Well, I finally seem to be receiving posts to the list, so I'll send this a third time. I do not know if this is the first, second, or third time you've seen this request. I apologize if it's the second or third. Any help would be appreciated. If someone has already responded I'd appreciate you forwarding it back to me, as I have not received any posts to this list until yesterday. Thanks, -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, if this is a duplicate. I've been having trouble with my subscription, so I haven't been getting anything from this list. -------- I'm trying to use challengeresponse/skey to login to my server via ssh. In my sshd_config file I have: PasswordAuthentication no #ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes - I assume this is the default since "#" ... UsePAM yes and my /etc/pam.d/sshd looks like standard: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required pam_shells.so auth required pam_nologin.so account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth My question is how do I get sshd to stop offering me unix password as an authentication option. Not only does it offer local unix password as an authentication method, but it asks for it before it asks for Skey. I have to press enter without typing in any information to get sshd to prompt for skey. Is this a PAM configuration, sshd configuration, or possibly an skey configuration?
