    I used to be a happy camper... but now that I've upgraded to 3.7p1 I can't connect through my sshd
    from a remote connection where I always could before.

    I'm getting the "Failed password for <user>..." problem (I also used to get the "Nasty PTR..."
    problem, but I fixed that).

    I configure the ssh package --with-pam and --with-md5-passwords. I've made sure I copied the PAM
    module from the contrib directory into /etc/pam.d

    It's still not working.

    Can anyone suggest some next steps? Here's a snippet from the log files at DEBUG3:
