Daniel and Simon, sshd -ddd clearly shows that the problem is on my system $HOME user's permissions:
debug3: secure_filename: checking '/home/yang/libssh2/tests/etc' debug3: secure_filename: checking '/home/yang/libssh2/tests' debug3: secure_filename: checking '/home/yang/libssh2' debug3: secure_filename: checking '/home/yang' Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/yang Adding -o 'StrictModes no' in ssh2.sh sshd options allows the test to succeed even with the wrong $HOME permissions. Without adding -o 'StrictModes no' in ssh2.sh and setting $HOME permissions to 755 makes tests succeed. BTW all libssh2 related libcurl tests pass OK! -- -=[Yang]=- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
