RE: ssh - no access to /dev/st0


If I add sshd_server to the Administrators group, I can auto logon via
ssh (using authorized_keys). Even though this is supposed to happen via
ssh-host-config.

But I still do not have access to /dev/st0, but if I disable auto-logon
and type in my password, all works.

The interesting thing is that the id command returns a different set of
groups for me when I log on automatically or I specify the password.

The uid and gid are the same, but the list of groups is different: For
the automatic logon I only get Domain Admins and Users

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I think it's time to start over on this one too:

You might want to run your server in debug mode and see if you can 
spot the problem here.  My WAG is permissions problems on ~/.ssh and/or
log files/directories and/or 'sshd' isn't running with all the
permissions 
it needs.  But that's just guessing.  The debug output should help
ferret
out the real answer.
