Re: sshd on WinXP machine in Win2003 Domain -- can't log in

["MIke Hanby" <flakrat at swbell dot net>]

stupid Symantec products, thanks for pointing that out
my home directory is physically located in:
  C:\Documents and Settings\joeshmo.WIN2003DOMAIN
I've created a link for /home to point to /cygdrive/c/Docume~1
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 11107    10513         111 Mar 20 15:59 /home ->
/cygdrive/c/Docume~1/
I've created another link to make my home directory more user friendly
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 11107    10513         114 Mar 18 00:58 /home/joeshmo ->
./joeshmo.WIN2003DOMAIN/
User ID 11107 is the id for joeshmo in the /etc/passwd file
  joeshmo:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11107:10513:Joe
Shmo,U-WIN2003DOMAIN\joeshmo,S-1-5-21-2516459027-1883439143-603107090-1107:/
home/joeshmo:/bin/bash

Now, one thing I've noticed in the -v -v output of the ssh client:
  SSH_TTY=/dev/tty1
/bin/bash: Permission denied

/dev doesn't exist, is this a problem?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Thanks.  First off (unrelated, but annoying): Norton Ghost screwed up your
path -- you should remove the quotes around
"C:\Program Files\Symantec\Norton Ghost 2003\" in the PATH variable.
Other than that, everything in your cygcheck output seems in order.  The
only other thing I can think of at the moment is: is the home directory of
joeshmo readable by that user?  Can you please run "ls -ln" on joeshmo's
home directory?  Oh, and do you realize that what sshd thinks the home
directory is and what $HOME is set to don't match?
