Hi !

We use opensshd to remote admin windows systems. But If the SID is changed we have the following problems: - I can log in but we can see 'Could not chdir to home directory /home/Administrateur: Permission denied'. And key based auth works even if the home directory is not readable (?!) - There's no way to update /etc/passwd via ssh to update the SID: Permission denied
- So the only way seems to manually update the file from Windows :-(


Right.  If the SID that owned the file no longer exists, that's a Windows
thing and the most efficient way to deal with it is from Windows.  Just
take ownership of the directory tree.


Is there another way ? If I disable 'ntsec', would it help ?


Perhaps, but that's just delaying the inevitable.  Fix the Windows problem.
