SSHD and permissions denied - Apr. 19, '04, 7:01:37 PM

I'm ssh-ing into a Windows machine that's not on a domain...

When I ssh into the machine, I'm listed correctly as user1, but I only have perms as the +SYSTEM group, even when I'm an owner and an administrator... any reason why?

Something is odd. "+System" is not a group it's a user.

Who's sshd are you running ?

I'm running the one off of interopsystems, downloaded two days ago.

It seems it's not just the group, but that i'm not being recognized as the same user as when i log in at the console. changing the read/write on the group byte allows me to make these changes. Have i configured SSHD incorrectly?

When you ssh into Windows, can you give us some details as to the specifics or your identity ?
Like, what do the following commands return:

id
uname -a
pdomain

And perhaps any explicit examples of what you are doing
and why you think there's a problem.

thanks

Sounds like it isn't running correctly.
You installed as which user ?
How did you start sshd (did you reboot or type it at the command line) ?
If you do 'ps -Alw | grep ssh', what is the output ?

hmph... in the style of all software (and other) problems, now that I'm trying to repro it, I can't. I'll post here if/when I'm able to find an example of something not working.

I guess that's why they call then daemons

Glad it's cleared up.

The secret is...
If you look at the perms you'll see that there is a "+" at the end of it.
This indicates that there are more control entries associated with this
file/directory than typically can be expressed in the standard Unix form.
(The code producing the "+" BTW is standard BSD code, it's just most BSD
systems haven't done ACL's yet).

This indicates that the file was placed there by Win32 (all those spaces
in the filename kinda give that away too). What you need to do is clobber
the permissions on the files/directories like this. The additional ACE (or
ACE's) in the ACL may have a "deny" or something else to prevent you doing
what you want.

So, for example, do a "chmod 755" on the directory and said file.
Then try it again.

If you want to see the full ACL info do "cacls filename".
