ahh, i never thought about the PAM configuration. It just seems odd that ssh from another solaris box works fine, in that it prompts to say 'password too short' but putty (using ssh) doesnt...wierd!
authlog writes out the following when attempting to connect through putty (at the point at which a new password is requested)
Keyboard-interactive (PAM) userauth failed[20] while changing authentication tokens (password): Authentication token manipulation error
cheers

pam_ck_connector
PAM_CK_CONNECTOR(8) ConsoleKit Manual PAM_CK_CONNECTOR(8)
NAME
pam_ck_connector - Register session with ConsoleKit
SYNOPSIS
pam_ck_connector.so [debug]
DESCRIPTION
The pam_ck_connector PAM module registers a login session with the system-wide ConsoleKit daemon. This PAM module should be used with
caution; only local login managers such as login(1) should use this. Since the ConsoleKit daemon can accept both an tty and an X11 display
the normal parameters set by PAM are not always useful.
An application can therefore override these with the PAM environment variables CKCON_TTY, CKCON_X11_DISPLAY and CKCON_X11_DISPLAY_DEVICE
(the application should remember to unset these before starting the login session).
Also note that the ConsoleKit daemon may reject registration attempts if the given set of data are inconsistent with each other. More more
information, see the ConsoleKit documentation on the OpenSessionWithParameters() method call on the org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager D-
Bus interface.
If registration with the ConsoleKit daemon succeeds, this PAM module will set the environment variable XDG_SESSION_COOKIE which is used to
defined membership of a login session.
This PAM module has the side effect that it creates a connection to the system message bus that is kept open until the session ends. This
is used by the ConsoleKit daemon to track the life-cycle of the session and, as such, should the login manager crash, the session will be
properly unregistered.
OPTIONS
debug
Print debug information.
nox11
Do not create a session if PAM specifies an X11 display instead of a /dev/tty terminal.
