I created a user say "joe" on host "myserver1" and assigned a password
"hello" to this user.
Then I copied this user's password entry in /etc/shadow which contains the
encrypted version of "hello" and place it
on another host "myserver2" after creating user "joe" on "myserver2". These
machines are running in a cluster.
I want them to have the same user information. I can log on "myserver1"
using user "Joe" and password "hello"
successfully using both "telnet" and "ssh". However, if I logged on to
myserver2 using SSH "ssh joe@myserver2"
and enter "hello" as the password. SSH complained "Permission denied".

Do anyone know why telnet allows me to log in, but ssh doesn't? I need to
create users inside a program, I can't do it
interactively on each machine.

I'm using OpenSSH_v3.4p1 on Debian Linux.

Thanks much in advance,
An
