Hello,
after a long time of normal operation, users can't login using SFTP to
one of my machines. Root SFTP login works fine. All SSH logins work fine
as well. No system related configuration files have been changed in a
long while.
Here's the OpenSSH client output:
[...]
debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending environment.
debug1: Sending env LANG = en_US
debug1: Sending subsystem: sftp

SSHD debug output shows nothing out of the ordinary for both root and
ordinary user (ceadmin):

Syslog shows nothing out of the ordinary, as well.
OS is AIX 5.3-08
Version is OpenSSH_5.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8h 28 May 2008 (shipped with OS)
Uptime is 460 days.
OpenSSH, AnyClient and FileZilla clients have been used from different
machines.
I can post full sshd debug output for both cases if needed.
Thanks in advance.
Kindest regards,
