Hi Chris, I'm not aware of anything special in my PAM configuration, I think It is still using the default configs.
user1 is a complete different user than any other, It has its unique user id. If a create a brand new user, the same problem happens. I could say I'm using the correct /etc/ssh/sshd_config because other changes to the file are read. To be sure, as you can see at my last e-mail, I passed the -f command line option to run sshd. The DenyUsers option is not working as well. I tried it with user1 and it does not block the user. Below follow my /etc/pam.d/sshd, if you need any other file, please, let me know. Thanks again for your help. # PAM configuration for the Secure Shell service # Standard Un*x authentication. @include common-auth # Disallow non-root logins when /etc/nologin exists. account required pam_nologin.so # Uncomment and edit /etc/security/access.conf if you need to set complex # access limits that are hard to express in sshd_config. # account required pam_access.so # Standard Un*x authorization. @include common-account # SELinux needs to be the first session rule.
