I have no trouble logging into the server from another computer on my home 
LAN.  The authentication is only a problem when trying to login from the 
Internet.  This worked fine until a few weeks ago, so I don't think it's a 
PAM issue.

BTW, the client computer is a laptop running putty that I take back and 
forth to work.  So the client software is exactly the same in both cases.

That was the first thing I thought of.  I tried multiple times to log into 
multiple accounts.  Same result every time.
