Bug#238699: Debian bug #238699: further info
Hi.
Some information regarding the Debian bug you reported ("ssh: latest
sid version recompiled on woody breaks password authentication").
Firstly: your sshd_config has "PasswordAuthentication no" in it.
(This is good: in order to authenticate via PAM on OpenSSH 3.7p1 and up,
you need to use ChallengeResponseAuthentication, aka keyboard-interactive.)
The other thing that can cause this (although I don't think this is the
cause in your case) is if you have MD5 passwords and your system crypt()
does not understand them. In such a case, OpenSSH can be configured
--with-md5-passwords.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
