One of my machines running: FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Thu Aug 3 15:33:32 EDT 2006 has suddenly decided to deny all ssh connections, whether by key-exchange or password. When attempting the latter, this appears in auth.log: Oct 3 22:47:44 jerusalem sshd[46280]: error: PAM: authentication error for illegal user <deleted> from bronze.lcs.mit.edu Oct 3 22:47:44 jerusalem sshd[46280]: Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for invalid user <deleted> from 128.31.0.11 port 63059 ssh2 Thre's nothing relevant in /usr/src/UPDATING, and searching on Google points to Samba-related stuff. I am running Samba, but fail to understand how this can affect a non-Samba-related login. Anyone willing to whap me with the clue-iron? Robert Huff
