Operating Systems Linux SuSE Setting the max open files value Post 302185008 by blowtorch on Monday 14th of April 2008 03:11:34 AM

Fixed the problem! A close look at the sshd_config file showed that Use_PAM wasn't set at all. Set that to yes. Also set ChallengeResponseAuthentication to no.
Code:
UsePAM yes
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

After this a restart of sshd is all that it takes to fix it.
