As of last night, we are now using LDAP for authentication, as opposed to local password files.
If you have problems logging in, please e-mail root.
Update: We have discovered that SSH clients that use Password as their authentication mode, as opposed to Keyboard-Interactive, may have problems. This problem is more common among older, SSH version 1 clients, but it may also affect people using Putty or SecureCRT and SSHv2. If you are using Putty or SecureCRT, check your settings and make sure you are using SSH version 2 and Keyboard-Interactive authentication.
We have upgraded the Java SSH client, which now uses SSHv2 and Keyboard-Interactive authentication.
We may disable SSHv1 in the near future, so it would be a good idea to change your settings and/or upgrade your SSH client to one that supports this version of SSH.
