For the second time since vers. 4.4, I let mergemaster overwrite my sshd_config file (since the file has changed quite a bit)... Then I started getting the problem with putty. So I did a diff on the files, and found that changing one line in my sshd_config file fixes the issue. The default sshd_config file contains: # change to no to disable PAM authentication #ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes I simply changed it to read: # change to no to disable PAM authentication ChallengeResponseAuthentication no It fixes putty... which allows me to connect from work. Can someone tell me what security I'm giving up by doing this? Thanks!
