Re: passwords
Hi !
Thank You for advise. I answered with delay because suggestions covered
in
ssh packet do not work and I have traced Your discussion with Axel
Kowald who seems to have the same problems as me. My last chance is to
utilize advise of Michael Erdely to start sshd in SYSTEM context by
srvany.exe. Until now
I was starting sshd with bash command prompt. It is said to start sshd
by inetd but I suppose inetd do not execute sshd when I try use ssh
client on my local machine. I have proper line in inetd.conf but it does
not work even if
inetd realy starts as service.I suppose inetd deamon does not read
inetd.conf
at all because it starts as a service without any error messages despite
of inetd.conf is present or not or if it has rubish inside. Where is
mistake ?
Aha ! Where can I get srvany.exe ?
Thank You in advance for any response
