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.
Since the SID change is done with Sysprep, we have now a script which updates
/etc/passwd during sysprep. Just updating with the new SID works !
