7 I've never been clear on how ssh authenticates a new login. Why would
8 your ssh login be accepted? Did you ssh in as a user and su to root?

10 Anyway, just as another data point I did the same update today and have
11 no trouble logging in. Here are my useflags for comparison
12
13 Installed versions: 20120417!b(03:40:29 AM 04/19/2012)(consolekit cracklib
14 gnome-keyring pam_ssh sha512 -debug -minimal -mktemp -pam_krb5 -passwdqc -selinux)
15
16 Installed versions: 4.1.5-r1(03:41:02 AM 04/19/2012)(acl cracklib pam -audit
17 -nls -selinux -skey -tcb -xattr)
18
19 (The pam_ssh useflag allows me to log in with my ssh passphrase instead of my
20 password, but that doesn't apply to the root account.)
