| That KB article has pretty poor english. Basically do the following
Open the file /etc/pam.d/plesk_usermng_encrypted in your preferred editior (nano/pico/vi)
Find the line which says "password required pam_deny.so"
Put a # in front of that line
Save the file

| Dear rghf,
I very appreciate your help, but I'm new to SSH...

Thank you

| Maybe you should look into a server management company. These are the very basics. I would not recommend you to learn these things on a production server.

| Hi Swiftnoc
I know some stuff, however I never edit the file via SSH - putty.
I know basics like changing Chmods, Passwords, User etc...
Thanks

| Hello Honza,
What about firewall, security, kernel compile ? a server is not secure out of the box. A experienced server administrator is highly recommended to maintain your production server. A control panel does not do all the work for you.

| Hi, I'll have to look at it... also, I would like to learn this, so I'm looking for somebody kind enough to tell me how to do it as mention before.
I agree it should be experienced server administrator, but I really need to know how to do it.
Regards

| We got the same issue in Plesk 10.1.1, after a long research we didnt find a good solution that works in 5 vps with the same problem after upgrade from plesk 9.5.2.
We do few adjust to passwd and system-auth and it start working properly. We wrote an article in spanish with all related info in http://www.hackingballz.com/articulo...ser/Page1.html
We hope that our fix can help to another users. Thank you!
