Hi, I have setup a new Fedora 5 Core installation and setup LDAP so that user can authenticate with a Solaris 9 iPlanet LDAP server. However, each time I log in using SSH or FTP, using the CORRECT ldap password, it will failed. The SSH always failed with a message like "permission denied, please try again:" error. The full error is captured below. I have been trying to search the web for resolution but caanot find any. Any help is greatly appreciated. bash-3.00$ ssh -v s39427@sspxz100 OpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to sspxz100 [163.55.55.10] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /export/home/s39427/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /export/home/s39427/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /export/home/s39427/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.3 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.3 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.2 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'sspnm170' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /export/home/s39427/.ssh/known_hosts:23 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /export/home/s39427/.ssh/identity debug1: Trying private key: /export/home/s39427/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Trying private key: /export/home/s39427/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: password s39427@sspnm170's password: debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password Permission denied, please try again. s39427@sspxz100's password: -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org http://fcp.homelinux.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=90097&topic_id=21829&forum=28#forumpost90097
