Welcome to my frustration. There is no /var/log/auth.log -- either on
the pod's CentOS 6.4 built by Protocase or on my CentOS 6.4 workstation.
Neither has an /etc/pam.d/ssh. Both have the same /etc/pam.d/sshd:
# cat /etc/pam.d/sshd
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_sepermit.so
auth include password-auth
account required pam_nologin.so
account include password-auth
password include password-auth
# pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule
session required pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_loginuid.so
# pam_selinux.so open should only be followed by sessions to be executed in the user context
session required pam_selinux.so open env_params
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session include password-auth
How was I logging in before? The pod is a brand new Backblaze box just
shipped in from the manufacturer (in Newfoundland!). It came with CentOS
6.4 pre-installed. As I said in my first e-mail, I originally hoped to
connect only power and Ethernet to this box and set it up headless using
ssh. Plan B adds an old PS/2 keyboard, USB mouse, VGA monitor balanced
precariously on top of this 68lb monster. Quite frankly, it's been a
PITB reconfiguring it this way.
