Hello,
I have inherited responsibility for a system and am having a problem with
ssh connections. I don't know what information to provide, so I'll
describe the problem, and perhaps someone can enlighten me on what I
should do to diagnose and solve it.
I have five machines -- one DU 4.0D, two DU 4.0B, one Solaris 7 SPARC, one
Solaris 7 x86. I have sshd running on all of them. NIS is set up and
running. I added myself to the system group in the group file on the NIS
master and ran make. All appears to be well on the two solaris machines
and the 4.0D machine: I can ssh to them and 'su root'. On the 4.0B
machines, however, sshd doesn't seem to be seeing the addition to the
group file, as I get a "You don't have permission to su" message when I
try it on either of those machines. If I use telnet to connect to those
machines, I can 'su root', which leads me to believe that it isn't the NIS
configuration.
When I 'ssh -V' on one of the machines, I get the following:
SSH Version 1.2.22 [alpha-dec-osf4.0], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version. Does not use RSAREF.
% initgroups: Not owner
The third line does not appear when I do the same on the other machine on
which there is a problem, though the version of ssh is the same. It looks
like it might provide the clue needed to solve the problem, but I don't
know where to start (I'm not supposed to be a system administrator, I'm
just the only one left).
Can anyone suggest how I might resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance, and I will summarize to the list.
