           Summary: OpenSSH 3.6.1p2 ON SCO 3.2v4.2 + STRICTMODES -->yes
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.6.1p2
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: vikashb at comparexafrica.co.za


I have compiled OpenSSH-3.6.1p2 on SCO 3.2v4.2 and
the following problem occurs:

I am unable to login as root using when strictmode is set to yes.

output of debug:

Failed none for root from 192.168.1.1 port 1199 ssh2
debug1: userauth-request for user root service ssh-connection method publickey
debug1: attempt 1 failures 1
debug2: input_userauth_request: try method publickey
debug1: test whether pkalg/pkblob are acceptable
debug1: trying public key file //.ssh/authorized_keys
debug3: secure_filename: checking '/.ssh'
debug3: secure_filename: checking ''
Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory
debug1: trying public key file //.ssh/authorized_keys2
debug3: secure_filename: checking '/.ssh'
debug3: secure_filename: checking ''
Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory

It seems that the final check is searching for a non-existent directory,
with OpenSSH 3.5p1 this problem does not exist.


OS : SCO 3.2v4.2
gcc: 2.7.2.3
