[Fedora-directory-users] ssh login fail

[Steven Jones]

Yes I have run this before, vuw exists (see below),

By password return I assume the client is querying LDAP to ask if the
user jonesst1 exists and either sends the hash of the password I used to
try and login or asks for the hash to do a comparison if it matches a
login is allowed....

I assume pam.d on the client is doing the hash comparison, so if the
hash method on the client is different to FDS its not going to get
anywhere.

Querying via the FDS gui shows the user so it is in the database
somewhere....

So the possible errors are wrong hash or looking in the wrong place, or
some other error.
