Permission Denied

[Rip Loomis]

David--

That exact error doesn't look familiar.  One
method that has always helped me to debug things
like this, however, is to run both ends in
debug mode.  If you run sshd in debug mode then
it doesn't background itself and continues to
print output on the controlling terminal.

Start sshd on a non-standard port in debug mode:
   sshd -d -p 2022

Then ssh to the target system in verbose mode:
   ssh -v -p 2022 hostname

You might get more info that way as to exactly
what's failing on the remote end.  I would hazard
a guess that the permissions on some file don't
allow the user you're ssh-ing in as to overwrite
something...

Hope this helps--

Solaris 8
Openssh 2.1.1p4 
Openssl-0.9.5a
Zlib 1.1.3

Anyone know why one would get the permission denied error?
It seems to be failing on the "Doing passwd authentication" phase 
after the "Received encrypted confirmation" phase. I have included
the output of ssh -v.



Thanks,
