Hi!

Since recent

  https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2026/04/08/msg161497.html
  https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2026/04/08/msg161500.html

resulting sshd no longer accepts password authentication:

  sshd-session[11328]: fatal: sshpam_init: called initially with no
packet context [preauth]

This happens on all my aarch64 machines.
Kerberos and key based logins still work fine.

Does anybody else is seeing this problem?

Regards, Markus
