I have not altered the pam configuration myself until now, so the configuration is the one enabled by the package directly. greppng for ssh gives: /etc/pam.d/common-auth:auth optional pam_ssh.so use_first_pass debug /etc/pam.d/common-session:session optional pam_ssh.so debug (the debug lines are what I added as per your suggestion). I also don't have any ~/.ssh/login-keys.d/ or ~/.ssh/session-keys.d/, > If yes, please try the debug option (see pam_ssh(8)) to figure out what is > going wrong; > the log files are welcome. Here's a snippet from /var/log/auth.log, which seems to be the only log with relevant information Jun 23 15:58:34 user pam_ssh[1418]: open session Jun 23 15:58:42 user pam_ssh[1869]: init authentication module Jun 23 15:58:42 user pam_ssh[1869]: No SSH login-keys directory.
