So, yesterday we upgraded the last machine running 3.5 here to 4.2 stable (CVSuped on saturday I believe). All went very smoothly and everything runs fine except for ssh. We are using openssh, and it rejects peoples passwords with "Permission denied, please try again." I seem to recall reading that password encryptionc hanged from MD5 to DES between 3.x and 4.x - and I suspect this could be the problem. The /usr/lib/libcrypt.so file is a link to libdescrypt.so, so I assume we are now using DES passwords. Old users have MD5 passwords, but new users are created with DES passwords. Using 'passwd' however converts them to MD5. I have checked auth.conf, mailing list archives and done a web search and am running out of ideas. Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely here ? -pete.
