I recently added Google Authenticator as an SSH 2fa means. It works great for SSH-ing in as "admin" but since doing so, I am not able to launch the Joinmarket-Qt GUI using the advised "ssh -X ....." command given in the Joininbox menu.

Steps to replicate:

  1. install libpam-google-authenticator
  2. do: google-authenticator
  3. answer the resulting questions (the given defaults are fine)
  4. Add this line to the bottom of your /etc/pam.d/sshd file:
    auth required pam_google_authenticator.so
  5. Go to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and find the line that says: ChallengeresponseAuthentication no
    and change the no to yes.
  6. Restart sshd.
  7. Test basic ssh and then try to launch Joinmarket-Qt.
