sorry to post again, but I have "found" another clue.. (maybe it will help). i tested something different with my ssh/regular logins and i noted that if i type an incorrect password the first time when asked to login, the correct password will not work on the subsequent requests (i.e. for ssh login). I need to break the connection and try again to get the password to work. I do not see this behaviour under RH 7.x or 8.0.
