SSHD authentication

SSHD authentication

[***]

HI:


I have configured a SSHD on a NT4.0 member server running SP6. I've
configured

sshd to start via SRVANY. I can see the service has started and have
verified

that I can at least attempt a connection via SecureCRT on my client machine.
I'm

prompted to accept the keys however connection fails at the password stage.
I

receive the message "Password Authentication failed.


I have SSHD running against the system account. I do have a service account
for

SSHD however I wanted to get it working in a fairly vanilla environment
first.



As I'm running SSHD on a non-domain controller I'd like to use the local

accounts for user authentication. I thought this was controlled via the
/etc/passwd

file. However when I launch cygwin and then login and attempt to login with
the

username and password I've set login fails.


I have also poured over the documentation and do not understand where I
should

set the netsec variable. Please tell me what file this variable needs to

configured for.


Any help would be much appreciated. Please reply to this

Well, I suppose you could put it in your cygwin.bat file but most (all?) 
people on NT/W2K tend to use the applet to set environment variables in 
the control panel (under System).

Did you check /etc/passwd? Does the entry has a home dir? The correct one?

It's "ntsec", not "netsec". As for setting the CYGWIN settings:

I'd also look at your /etc/sshd_config file and make sure you've
disabled RSAAuthentication.

Perhaps you mean the ntsec flag of the CYGWIN environment variable.
You set this by adding

SET CYGWIN=ntsec

to your cygwin.bat before the line containing bash.

This will cause cygwin to use it's NT security features.

Hope this helps.

No.  You can use public key authentication instead of password auth.

sshd authentication

[Chetan Tiwari]

Hi,

This may be a basic question, but I was wondering if there was any way
to setup the SSH Daemon so that it authenticates users based on a text
file or a SQL database, rather than the default passwd file/NT security
authentication.

I'd basically like to set up a private list of users who can access my
machine and this list is independant of the default win 2k users.

Thanks,

Chetan

RE: SSHD authentication

[Simha, Shuba]

How about setting this in the NT environment? Right-click on My Computer -
properties - Environment tab. At the bottom, there are 2 text boxes,
Variable & Value. Can we set "Cygwin" & ntsec here?
