I just went into the logs, here is the /var/log/auth.log from the
working machine:
Jun 15 23:50:08 fpac-dev sshd[31997]: Accepted password for fpacuser
from 192.168.1.203 port 4531
Jun 15 23:50:08 fpac-dev ssh(pam_unix)[32007]: session opened for user
fpacuser by (uid=1004)
Jun 15 23:50:08 fpac-dev pam_limits[32007]: setrlimit limit #6 to
soft=-1, hard=-1 failed: Operation not pe
rmitted; uid=1004 euid=1004
root@fpac-dev:/var/log#
It is the last jun 15 entry that is interesting, but one this machine
you are dropped to
the fpacnode app as the shell and it works just fine...
Below is the /var/log/auth.log from the machine that is failing
Jun 15 23:54:33 fpac sshd[2801]: Accepted password for fpacuser from
24.129.134.206 port 4540
Jun 15 23:54:33 fpac ssh(pam_unix)[2803]: session opened for user
fpacuser by (uid=1007)
Jun 15 23:54:33 fpac pam_limits[2803]: setrlimit limit #6 to soft=-1,
hard=-1 failed: Operation not permitted; uid=1007 euid=1007
Jun 15 23:54:34 fpac ssh(pam_unix)[2803]: session closed for user fpacuser
root@fpac:/var/log#
Notice that on this one the session is closed for user fpacuser...
