Bug#429619: openssh-server upgrade kills ability to login using password
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:4.6p1-1
Upgraded openssh-server from 1:4.3p2-10
openssh-server installed new version of /etc/init.d/ssh
openssh-client upgraded at same time , installing new version of /etc/
ssh/ssh_config
Problem is, I upgraded kernel at same time, so did a reboot.
Now, when I try to login to the server (from an OSX machine) using
password, I get "Permission denied (publickey).
Can't get to the server anymore.
What changed between 1:4.3p2-10 and 1:4.6p1-1 that broke password
based login?
Here's the tail end of ssh -vvv user@host
