I didn't change anything either, but after cvsuping once I lost ssh login ability. Since it's the only thing I used across the network it's the only one I noticed. I'm not sure what went on. You wouldn't notice it as a PAM message, it would appear to be from the application that's failing on login if it's PAM. OTOH it could be something else completly. I've just seen this a few times recently. -- Groove On Dude Michael Conlen Obfuscated Networking meconlen@obfuscated.net > -----Original Message----- > From: Dimitry Andric [mailto:dim@xs4all.nl] > Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2001 10:14 AM > To: Michael Conlen; Zero Sum; freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: RE: POP3 > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 2001-03-10 at 23:47 Michael Conlen wrote: > > >Check your pam.conf.
