Comparing version 2 and version 1 back

We have seen a few instances of SSH logins failing when using a password, but working fine with public key authentication. If you are experiencing this problem you it is most likely because you haven't set up an [[Mail Servers|MTA(Mail Transfer Agent)]]. Something (haven't found what yet unfortunately) tries to call @/usr/bin/mail@, and if it can't find it, sshd segfaults.

There are two solutions:

# Install a [[Mail Servers|mail server]] along with the mailx package
# Create a "fake" mail by creating a symlink to @true@
** @ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/mail@
** This is what you'd call a _dirty hack_. You should definitely go with choice #1 if at all possible.
