  <sigh>  *Another* PAM module has decided that the password is wrong,
and has over-written it.  This prevents any other PAM module from
letting the user in.

  Or maybe it's SSH doing it.

  It doesn't.  Look in the source, there's nothing about "INCORRECT".

  As a suggestion, if there are 5-6 pieces of software involved in
authentication, don't immediately jump to blaming the PAM radius module.
