PAM based authentication?

Hi all,
I'm using OpenSSH_3.6.1p2. While configuring sshd, I found the result for PAM support as NO. Doesn't sshd use PAM by default????

I want to use MD5 based passwords with PAM support.

  1. So, first to enable MD5 based password support... I configured sshd with --with-md5-passwords. sshd accepts MD5 passwords after it's configured with -with-md5-passwords. But it doesn't accept password if shadow file is used on the server. How do I make it accept MD5 based passwords even when shadow is used?
  2. How do I enable PAM based authentication? I tried enabling "PAMAuthenticaionViaKbdInt yes" in sshd_config but didn't see any difference in debug output when connecting sshd. I still see that it's using next authenticaion method as "password" which allows user to login.

Thanks in advance,
