Bug ID: 2955
Summary: Warning message StrictModes=yes and $HOME has g+w
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 7.7p1
Hardware: amd64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Motivation: I was unable to login to a server, which only allows SSH
keys for authentication, because I had (accidentally) given g+w
permissions to $HOME and StrictModes=yes in sshd. The MOTD is shown but
then I was prompted for a password which I could not give because there
is none. I finally contacted a sysadmin and he looked in the sshd logs
to find the problem.
Suggestion: it would be nice to have a warning message, perhaps only
shown with -v, that hints to check for that or other potential login
issues so that the user has a means of starting to debug the problem.
