Post #292,638 by bepatient 9/9/07 10:55:55 PM Reply	Resetting ssh password For some reason, ssh will not allow me to log in on my server box using the username/password combination for the main login on the box. I can't pinpoint an event that would have caused this to happen, it used to work fine. So, is there a way to reset the ssh passwords...not critical, as I don't go to the office much...but I do like to have access to the box when I'm away...and right now I don't.

Post #292,653 by folkert 9/10/07 11:29:39 AM Reply	Using Debian or Ubuntu on the machine? Because, recently Debian had a PAM UPGRADE (with extended additional functionality) on testing(Lenny and of course SID before that) that forces any service that uses PAM to completely restart. Nothing works, unless you restart the service(s) affected. With that said, the Debian upgrade should have notified you that "XXX XXX XXX" services need the restart. It may not have included your needed service. A reboot SHOULD definitely take care of this (being the big hammer it is) Ubuntu also had a recent similar issue, but was more of an ABI bump, that was unavoidable to take care of an local exploit. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`
