From: Ian AT kiwiplan DOT co DOT nz (Ian Collins) Subject: telnetd again 23 Nov 1997 23:32:51 -0800 Message-ID: <07551A47EAD6D01186430060B025C6F41B6F47.cygnus.gnu-win32@ntserver.kiwiplan2.co.nz> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: "'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com'" I know this has done the rounds, but I have read all the mailing list messages regarding telnetd and still got nowhere. I have installed inetd ok, and it seems to work (I have tested by sending messages to the echo port). When I telnet to my PC, I get the login and password which are both accepted OK, but then I get the login: no shell: /bin/sh: Not owner message. I have set the relevant user rights as suggested: i.e, "Act as Part of OS" and "Increase Quotas" (The "Assign Primary Token" is a tricky one, as I don't see it. However I do see a "Create Primary Token", which I have set for my user. I am running NT4 with SP3 by the way). I have debugged the login program, and the failure is on the sexeclp line. (the following bit may be related to the above, but I don't see how). In addition, I have set up the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files using mkpasswd and mkgroup. When I do a, for example, chown ian /bin/sh The ownership is set to 65535, not to ian! ian is a member of teh passwd file with uid 5001 (I have tried various uid's and accounts). The only one that does set the ownership correctly is the administrator. I.e. chown administartor /bin/sh sets the owner to administrator. I also have CYGWIN_TTY=1 set. Now I'm confused. What is happening? I have two disks on my PC, a FAT and a NTFS. I've tried it on both. Ian Collins.
