[Debian-sf-users] SSH: Problems authenticating users

[Manik Surtani]

Hi, all.

I have an issue with user authentication when trying to ssh into the SF box.

1)  I create a new user on the SF site ("testuser")

2)  I run /usr/lib/sourceforge/bin/update-user-group-cvs.sh

3)  I try and ssh into the box as 'testuser'.

4)  Running sshd in debug mode, I see the following error coming up:

	debug1: PAM Password authentication for "testuser" failed[9]: 		 
Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.

Has anyone got any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?  It would seem 
that ssh is not referring to nss-ldap for the auth info.  Or perhaps 
nss-ldap isnt talking to PAM.  (does this make sense, or am I talking 
out of my arse?  I dont know much about ldap and pam... )

Help much appreciated!

Cheers,
