    Hi all,
    I'm using OpenSSH_3.6.1p2. While configuring sshd, I found the result for
    PAM support as NO. Doesn't sshd use PAM by default????

    I want to use MD5 based passwords with PAM support.

    1. So, first to enable MD5 based password support...
            I configured sshd with --with-md5-passwords. sshd accepts MD5
    passwords after it's configured with -with-md5-passwords. But it
            doesn't accept password if shadow file is used on the server. How do
    I make it accept MD5 based passwords even when shadow is used?

    2. How do I enable PAM based authentication? I tried enabling
    "PAMAuthenticaionViaKbdInt yes" in sshd_config but didn't see any difference
    in debug output when connecting sshd. I still see that it's using next
    authenticaion method as "password" which allows user to login.

    Thanks in advance,
    Anurag
