The upgrade of the pam_ssh package from version 1.98 to 2.3 breaks user login to the system with the SSH key. Also, sudo is broken. There is a noticeable difference in the password prompt. There stays "Password:" for version 1.98 and "SSH passphrase" for version 2.3. Journal shows my key is successfully decrypted: čen 02 12:24:26 vertigo pam_ssh[3180]: SSH key candidate 'id_rsa'. čen 02 12:24:26 vertigo pam_ssh[3180]: SSH key 'id_rsa' decrypted. My system-auth is following: auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_ssh.so debug auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so account optional pam_deny.so password required pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass use_authtok nullok sha512 shadow password optional pam_permit.so session optional pam_ssh.so debug session required pam_limits.so session required pam_env.so session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_permit.so -session optional pam_systemd.so Any idea whats wrong? Downgrade to the version 1.98 is a workaround.
It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.
