Re: Privilege separation user sshd does not exist

Are you using shadow passwords?  If so, did configure file getspnam()? 
You can add a debug at the bottom of auth-passwd.c:sys_auth_passwd() 
before the return to make sure that the encrypted password values are 
what you expect.

Also, there might be something earlier in the debug output so take a 
close look at it.



That helped a bunch.  The debug helped me to see that the password was
not matching.  Lo and behold I had a shadow file defined with a
hand-entered line for this user, even though shadow passwords were not
being used.  I cleared this file and I was able to authenticate the user
just fine.

Now I'm having problems with configuring the pty for this user.  Can you
give me any tips here?
