Re: 1.5.5: sshd problem
Thanks for the extra tips, Igor. Do any of these results look strange to
you?

That's the default mode Windows gives it. This should work, but somehow
doesn't... Can sshd get to all the necessary files and directories? Look
at the permissions on /etc and the files in it, as well as /bin.
I tried an ls -l /etc and found
-rwxr-xr-x 1 SYSTEM None 1159 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_config
-rw------- 1 SYSTEM None 668 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM None 599 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
-rw------- 1 SYSTEM None 524 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_host_key
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM None 328 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_host_key.pub
-rw------- 1 SYSTEM None 887 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_host_rsa_key
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM None 219 Nov 13 19:02 ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM None 2427 Nov 13 19:03 sshd_config
That looks OK I thought... or is it? Does 'SYSTEM' need to be able to
read those files, or does 'sshd'?
I also had a look at /etc/bin and it's all owned by john.Users, for example
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 19456 Feb 20 2002 split.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 68608 Nov 6 02:47 ssh-add.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 57856 Nov 6 02:47 ssh-agent.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 17333 Nov 6 02:47 ssh-host-config
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 75776 Nov 6 02:47 ssh-keygen.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 130048 Nov 6 02:47 ssh-keyscan.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 6266 Nov 6 02:47 ssh-user-config
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 223232 Nov 6 02:47 ssh.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 18944 Sep 21 06:32 ssp.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 87552 Aug 26 2002 states.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 john Users 23552 Sep 21 06:32 strace.exe
That could be a problem perhaps? Should the 'Users' group contain 'sshd'
or is access for sshd to the /bin executables handled somehow else?
Ok, looks like all your mounts are system mounts, unless you simply don't
have the permission to read the registry keys for the SYSTEM user...
That seems strange. My home computer has a couple of mounts when I run
that command, but this system has none. However, it works fine locally
(compiling, listing files, /cygdrive/c, etc). I haven't ever tinkered
with the mounts, so I wonder how that comes to be... Couldn't be related
to mingw/msys could it?
