Oh, oh, oh...
As I mentioned yesterday I could get neither ssh nor sshd
nor telnetd/rlogind working on my 98 box correctly.
This was due to the fact that I made / (root dir)
to the home dir of my W98 user. As soon as I changed
the home dir to eg. /home/corinna all tools worked
"out of the box".
And sshd accepts RSA of course!
So, as a result of my own failure, I can give the following
hint:
DON'T LET / BE YOUR HOME DIR!!!
Set the environment variable HOME to your home dir and,
that's important for the tools, create a /etc/passwd with
one entry for you (eg. in my case):
corinna::500:544::/home/corinna:/bin/sh
Use the above id's, UID 500, gid 544 because that are
always the id's for a W9X user.
Put your .ssh dir into that /home/yourname
W9X users can't use the login.exe that is part of the
inetutils package. They have to create an application or
a shell script named
/usr/bin/login
with for example the following content:
#!/bin/sh
exec sh
Ken, would you mind to publish your version of the `login'
script as another example?
Hope, that helps,
Corinna
