I get the error:
Permission denied, please try again.
when I execute:
ssh ilg@localhost
The error in /var/log/secure is:
sshd[15593]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost= localhost.localdomain user=ilg
sshd[15593]: Failed password for ilg from 127.0.0.1 port 1590 ssh2
The /etc/nsswitch.conf has:
passwd: compat
shadow: compat
group: compat
and I have the appropriate "+" entries in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group. I am sure it's not my NIS setup because ypcat and ypmatch all work.
I am pretty sure that the problem is that PAM is not using the NIS map files for authentication.
The reason I say this is, when I set "UsePAM no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config - then ssh works and I am able to login. In essence bypassing PAM.
or
when I copy the login and password entries for ilg from the NIS source files to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, then ssh works and I am able to login. In essence bypassing NIS.
How do I make PAM use NIS?
I am using the default /etc/pam.d files that were installed with the system.
Thanks in advance.
