14.4. Troubleshooting
If ssh1 or scp1 doesn't work as expected, use the -v (verbose) option so the client prints debugging messages as it operates. These messages may provide a clue to the problem. Now for some specific problems:- When I run ssh1, it says "You don't exist, go away!"
- You probably didn't create C:\etc\passwd as directed. Also, make sure that you don't put drive specifications (C:) in the passwd file because the colon will be treated incorrectly as a field separator.
- I can't create a folder called ".ssh" or any other name beginning with a period.
- You can't do it with Windows's graphical interface. Use an MS-DOS shell and the mkdir command (mkdir .ssh).
- ssh1 says "Could not create directory /home/.ssh".
- You forgot to create C:\home.
- scp1 complains that it can't find ssh1.
- Is C:\usr\local\bin (or wherever you put ssh1.exe) in your MS-DOS PATH?
- ssh-agent1 doesn't work. It prints Bad modes or owner for directory '/tmp/ssh-smith' and exits.
- You're right. The SSH agent doesn't run under Windows, as it requires Unix domain sockets.
- I can't connect via sshd to my NT account that's in another domain.
-
That's right, you can't. NT sshd lets
you connect to local accounts only, i.e., in the domain of the local
machine.[178]
[178]We've heard reports that NT sshd authenticates accounts from any trusted domain, but we haven't verified this.
- I am still having problems.
