    Hello Ben,
    Thanks for ur help. I tried configuring sshd with --with-pam option and it
    worked. Im now able to use PAM and MD5 based password support with ssh
    access.
    What if I don't have access to the source code to reconfigure?
    What if I just want to use oone of many configuration files in ssh to enable
    PAM for password authentication? Is there a way to do it?
    Regards,
    Anurag

    You need to ./configure --with-pam we disabled auto-enable because PAM
    standard is too scattered and actually caused more headache for support.
