A number of my computers upgraded themselves to pam_krb5-2.2.14-15, and remote 
logins promptly broke.  If you tried to ssh in, it would ask for your password 
and then close the connection.  The log file shows an enigmatic message (the 
xxxx is the username):

account checks fail for 'xxxxx': unknown reason -1765328254 (Cannot read 
password)

If I put back pam_krb5-2.2.14-10, it works fine.

To make it even stranger, only some of the systems that did this update have 
this problem.

Any ideas?
