Mine is close to the same. I added the: account required pam_nologin.so because it wasn't there. It didn't seem to help. The only other error message I get is in auth.log wich says: Aug 21 14:24:11 server sshd[28655]: PAM unable to resolve symbol: pam_sm_acct_mgmt Aug 21 14:24:11 server sshd[28655]: Could not reverse map address 10.10.10.10 Aug 21 14:24:15 server sshd[28655]: PAM rejected by account configuration[28]: Module is unknown Aug 21 14:24:15 server sshd[28655]: Failed password for user from 10.10.10.10 port 57378 ssh2 Aug 21 14:24:15 server sshd[28655]: fatal: monitor_read: unsupported request: 24 if I do passwd user and change his password it then works???? I don't get it...
