[cobalt-security] open ssh - password problems ???????

["marcus miller" <cobalt_security_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Due to the openssh scare over the last few days, I decided to try and 
install openssh 3.3 from the tarball on the openssh homepage.

This did not go to well, and though I had followed all instructions ( from 
here - http://linux.rice.edu/help/tips-ssh.html ) I never quite managed to 
get it working.

My problem is:

I installed the pkg from package masters over the top figuring this would 
overwrite everything with the pre-configured 3.4 version and that this would 
solve all my problems...... I should have known better!

Now, when I try to log in:
It connects, accepts my user name, but keeps re-prompting for my password!!!

Things ive tried
- I have changed the admin password in the gui and tried logging in again
- I can telnet into the box using same user and pass????


I am at my wits end, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

MJM
