Could this be another issue with pub key auth ? (wild speculation only)

I can confirm the problem, no solution though. Sorry. However, I
can supply an additional piece of information.

The problem seems to be related to the NT security. On the box in
question I have two users in group administrators: One local user
and a remote user (my NT domain user). Both can stop and start
services when logged in via PCAnyWhere. The former can when logged
in via SSH, the latter cant.

Any hint welcome,

Jochen

No,

as written in a separate mail (with the wrong subject, though,
sorry! :-) it was caused by the permissions of /var/empty.
After changing them from 700 to 755 it now works perfectly well.

Regards,

Jochen

SSHD 3.4 : cannot start a different service from the shell

[Ulrich Voss]

Hi,

I have a slightly different problem than everybody else after 
upgrading to the newest version of OpenSSH (3.4p1). SSHD starts 
fine and I can login as before. But I can't start another service after 
logging on the machine.

I user SSH for tunneling VNC traffic. I have normally switched off 
vnc for various reasons and start it after logging in with "net start 
winvnc". This worked fine for months now, but after upgrading to 
OpenSSH 3.4 I get the error "System Fehler 5 aufgetreten" which 
should translate to sth. like "system error 5 has occured". I can 
start and stop winvnc from the local console fine. Only when logged 
in remote via ssh I get this error.

Any ideas?

TIA

Ulrich.
