Hi !

We use opensshd to remote admin windows systems. But If the SID is changed we 
have the following problems:
- I can log in but we can see 'Could not chdir to home directory 
/home/Administrateur: Permission denied'. And key based auth works even if the 
home directory is not readable (?!)
- There's no way to update /etc/passwd via ssh to update the SID: Permission denied
- So the only way seems to manually update the file from Windows :-(

Is there another way ? If I disable 'ntsec', would it help ?

Cheers,
