I am running cygwin 1.3.5 with openssh 3.0.1 on a Win2K box. I have
echo $CYGWIN ntea ntsec I start sshd as Administrator. In sshd_config, I have StrictModes yes All of the relevant files and directories are owned by Administrator and have minimal permissions, ie: Administrator@SCANNER$ ls -ld home etc dr-x------ 2 Administ None 4096 Nov 22 12:10 etc dr-x------ 3 Administ None 0 Nov 21 13:22 home Administrator@SCANNER$ ls -l etc total 91 -r-------- 1 Administ None 88039 Nov 9 11:06 moduli -r-------- 1 Administ None 215 Nov 22 12:09 passwd -r-------- 1 Administ None 668 Nov 9 12:12 ssh_host_dsa_key -r-------- 1 Administ None 611 Nov 9 12:12 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub -r-------- 1 Administ None 1087 Nov 22 12:10 sshd_config Administrator@SCANNER$ cd home/Administrator/ Administrator@SCANNER$ ls -la total 8 dr-x------ 3 Administ None 4096 Nov 22 13:04 . dr-x------ 3 Administ None 0 Nov 21 13:22 .. dr-x------ 2 Administ None 4096 Nov 22 12:01 .ssh Administrator@SCANNER$ cd .ssh Administrator@SCANNER$ ls -la total 11 dr-x------ 2 Administ None 4096 Nov 22 12:01 . dr-x------ 3 Administ None 4096 Nov 22 13:04 .. -r-------- 1 Administ None 2471 Nov 22 12:01 authorized_keys2 Starting sshd in debug mode and then trying to connect to the server, tells me: debug1: trying public key file /home/Administrator/.ssh/authorized_keys2 Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for file /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Administrator/.ssh/authorized_keys2 How can this be the case?
