Re: uid having logged in with ssh


Andy Keane wrote:
Hi

I am running sshd having set up the sshd service using ssh-host-config with
privilege separation and with sshd running as a server owned by the local
sshd_server user.
All is working fine and I can log in using my keys without the need for
passwords or without keys and using passwords.
My problem is that if I then try and run some processes after logging in
(specifically MPI ones) the system thinks I am the local sshd_server user
and not the person I wish to be.
If I try and run the sshd process as the user instead and without putting it
up as a service and without privilege separation then sshd fails to accept
the login as it tries to do a setuid which fails:

Any ideas how I can get sshd working such that after log in I am really the
user I wish to be would be much appreciated.


Patience. ;-)
