Hi,

If i changed my password then i can able to enter into linux box. After some time if i tried then i can not able to enter into the same box.

I have tried lot of times, But it is not resolved yet.

You asked this question twice now. Is it a Solaris problem, or a Linux one? You mention Linux here, but post it in the Solaris forum

I am facing this problem in solaris box only.

This message appears when password is not entered for a duration of time and authentication times out.

Is it happening only for this user ID?

Also, can you check the status of this ID when it is not logging to the server through the following command if you have root access.

Code:

logins -xl <user ID>

You can also try ssh with verbose option to debugg further

Code:

ssh -vvv

.

This is error you face when remote host is not able to authenticate you.

Can you check if any other user is facing same issue?
Also check authentication mechanism on remote host, like PAM, radius, local files, nis, ldap etc.

As mentioned by Vishal, ssh -vvv may give you some insight if any problem with network/ssh connection like public/private key problems.

Also, can you try logging from some other system to remote host?

Please make sure your password is not getting modified by some centralized or script manner. For that, create another user on server, take backup of /etc/shadow and check if your password hash is getting changed once you login successfully and once you not.

Please reply back with above o/p, if further troubleshooting is required.
