Hi !
We use opensshd to remote admin windows systems. But If the SID is
changed we have the following problems:
- I can log in but we can see 'Could not chdir to home directory
/home/Administrateur: Permission denied'. And key based auth works even
if the home directory is not readable (?!)
- There's no way to update /etc/passwd via ssh to update the SID:
Permission denied
- So the only way seems to manually update the file from Windows :-(
Right. If the SID that owned the file no longer exists, that's a Windows
thing and the most efficient way to deal with it is from Windows. Just
take ownership of the directory tree.
Is there another way ? If I disable 'ntsec', would it help ?
Perhaps, but that's just delaying the inevitable. Fix the Windows problem.
