Make sure when using binary mode that both the /etc/passwd and
sshd_config files do not have any ^M's at the end of the lines. (Never
use notepad to edit these files, use vi or some other non-MS
application)
The file names "\etc\ssh_host_key^M" and "\etc\ssh_host_key" are
distinctly different file names and therefor the file you are asking for
may not exist.
The same goes for the shell path in the /etc/passwd file.
"/bin/sh.exe^M" or "/bin/sh^M" is not the same as /bin/sh.exe and
/bin/sh respectively.
