Re: SSH won't accept logins without password

Hi,

Now that I've given my lecture I feel better about myself :)

I still say that rsh and friends would be more appropriate as you
don't need (by your assesment, and I'm admittedly paranoid) the
overhead cryptography introduces.

But if you want this to work...

firstly did you hit enter at the password prompt (you still need to do
this).

Secondly you may need to add "nullok" in /etc/pam.d/ssh here:
auth       required     pam_unix.so
- becomes -
auth       required     pam_unix.so nullok

"nullok" is standard in /etc/pam.d/login but not /etc/pam.d/ssh, I
don't know if this inherited in some way or not
