Good afternoon! |

I just finished installing a new Gentoo system and find, that I |
| 4 |
am unable to logon to the system using my normal user account |
| 5 |
with SSH. When I try to do so, I get the following in my syslog: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Mar 1 13:45:13 dewuga01 sshd[3519]: error: Could not get shadow information for vz6tml |
| 8 |
Mar 1 13:45:13 dewuga01 sshd[3519]: Failed password for vz6tml from 10.233.9.167 port 49724 ssh2 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
We are using "traditional NIS" with NO shadow database. Thus, |
| 11 |
the password is in the passwd encoded, like this: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
vz6tml:2ELy4sdBohRGM,7.QR:1100:3000:Alexander Skwar,CTCW:/u/vz6tml:/usr/local/bin/bash |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
root (and also any other non-NIS-User, I suppose) is able to |
| 16 |
logon with SSH. With telnet (netkit-telnet) I'm also able to |
| 17 |
logon using my normal user account - but I'd rather not use |
| 18 |
telnet. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
When I use a SSH public key, I can login just fine. But I'd |
| 21 |
also like to be able to use my password to login. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
On a different (older) Gentoo system, everything works just |
| 24 |
fine. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
What might I have to tune, so that the new system also |
| 27 |
behaves the way I want it to? |
| 28 |

Thanks a lot, |

How should I know if it works? That's what beta testers are for. I |
| 34 |
only coded it. |
