"sudo -u user ssh server" fails to connect

Hi,

I've a server where i configured sshd like this :

Code:

...
AllowUser user1
Port 1234
...

user1 is in a jail

On my client, i have 1 user :
user1 in a jail. When he's logged in, ssh -p 1234 server success.

root is allowed to do everithing with sudo.

But, when root try [i]sudo -u user1 ssh -p 1234 user1@server[i], i've this error message : too many authentification failures.

I use a second sshd daemon on server, because i want to separate streams (some TCP 22 are closed on firewalls for security. Only chrooted users could log on with sshd on port 1234)

Thanks

do you need user1 to be able to access the system?

also what is all in the jail? do you have a jail etc/passwd etc/group and all required libraries?

Code:

On my client, i have 1 user :
user1 in a jail. When he's logged in, ssh -p 1234 server success.

when he is logged in on the terminal or ssh?

user1 on server and client are in a jail. They must not have access to the system.

On the client, when i do on a terminal (as root):

Code:

su - user1
ssh -p 1234 server

it success.

In my jail, i've all libraries. /jail/etc/goup and /jail/etc/passwd are OK.

I've the solution, but i don't understand

If i put MaxAuthRetry to 1, sudo ssh doesn't work. If i set it to 2, it works.

Is anybody have an idea why ?
