[Info-vax] OpenSSH server does not accept passwords with digits and letters mixed

[Andrew Brehm]

I have two OpenVMS 9.1 VMs which I thought were pretty identical (set up in the same way).

Both of them have a system account with a password with digits and numbers.

But while both of them work with the account via serial port and telnet, on one of them the login via OpenSSH only works when the password is changed to digits only or letters only.

Any idea why that could be?

As a table: ssh login to Host2 doesn't work with mixed password:

Method	Host1	Host2

serial	abcd12	abcd12
telnet	abcd12	abcd12
ssh	abcd12	-

serial	abcd	abcd
telnet	abcd	abcd
ssh	abcd	abcd
