hi. i'm not subscribed to this list so i would be grateful if i could be
left on the cc: line of this thread.
i tried to link my ~/.ssh to "/cygdrive/c/Documents and
Settings/<username>/Application Data/Van Dyke Technologies/SecureCRT/"
because i thought it was the most straight-forward way to share my identity
files. this breaks incoming publickey auth to cygwin openssh sshd. sshd logs:
==
debug1: userauth-request for user beej service ssh-connection method publickey
debug1: attempt 1 failures 1
debug1: test whether pkalg/pkblob are acceptable
debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1003/544 (e=18/18)
debug1: trying public key file /home/beej/.ssh/authorized_keys
debug1: restore_uid: (unprivileged)
debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1003/544 (e=18/18)
debug1: trying public key file /home/beej/.ssh/authorized_keys2
Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /cygdrive/c
==
so it isn't happy about /cygdrive/c. here's how cygwin sees that "dir":
==
$ ls -ld /cygdrive/c
d--------- 15 65535 65535 0 Feb 3 04:11 /cygdrive/c/
==
so my question: is there a way to make this work? can i change the
mode/ownership bits on a /cygdrive mountpoint? or can i tell the sshd to
be less security-conscious?
tia,
marc
