I am having some trouble logging in as anything other than root through ssh in fedora core 3 and was wondering where I could find the ssh logs.
I haven't been able to find any mention of any log name other than 'sshd.log' and slocate doesnt find that.

Run system-logviewer, and your "Security Log" will show your ssh logins. However, if you have been compromised by a skilled cracker, your logs will likely be altered. 
Do you have a strong password? Have you applied your updates? (the basic questions)
Finally, what problems are you having, exactly, with your normal user account?
You can reset your password on there, if there is a login problem that way. Also try logging in at a console (CTRL+ALT+F2) and see if your login is successful there.

Perhaps you've set something wrong in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
I think perhaps you need to add a line with "AllowUsers <your username>".

Hah! I was just coming back to make a recommendation to secure or shutdown sshd (if it wasn't used by the original poster).I think perhaps you need to add a line with "AllowUsers <your username>".[right][snapback]585339795[/snapback][/right]
You got it covered, though.
sshd_config should be the first place that you check.
If you're implementing pam, make sure you also check /etc/pam.d/sshd (or similar location.)

My sshd_config looks fine, I allow the users that I want to.
I don't know much about the pam configurations though.
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required pam_nologin.so
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
The pam_nologin.so thingy looks like it should probably be something different, but what would I change it to?
P.S. I'm not running x so i can't use system-logviewer, since it seems to be graphical.
