Given these things are usually really obvious when you finally spot them (it happens to me a lot, anyway), here are a few obvious things you could think of in case it helps. First off, ssh is different from a console login so what's in sshd_config matters. That said, the defaults generally work (or used to). In no particular order, in sshd_config: PasswordAuthentication must be "yes" KerberosOrLocalPasswd probably "yes" AllowUsers, AllowGroups, DenyUsers and DenyGroups need to be set correctly. ChrootDirectory - this could cause fun if it's set to something. Other things that might be interesting are UseLogin and UsePAM. If this was a fundamental problem with changed defaults in 9.2, I'm sure a lot more people would have complained. Regards, Frank.
