now C2 is connected via ethernet to C1, and C1 is connected to the internet; they both have full network access.
Ever since I've gotten their network to run, C2 refuses to accept passwords from any account using sshd except for root; I'm trying to log into C2 from C1 using sshd.
It gives a "Permission Denied" error and fails every time, regardless of what I set the password to, or what I enter. It works absolutely fine with zero problems on the root account.
I've tried ssh-krb5 and just standard openSSH with no results between either of them.
It's the same problem on the console, I can't log in as anyone other than root. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's really irritating.
Also, I rebuilt the kernel a few nights ago, I've been working from the console since then, but it went from kernel version 2.2 something to 2.6.7. Perhaps this could be the problem?
what shell are your users set up to use? is it the same as root? If nothing is wrong with the user accounts, then it must be an authentication problem.
