creating new user
 
my version :
SunOS 5.10 Generic_147441-05 i86pc i386 i86pc



I created a new user but when I try to login as that user I cant. I have tried via putty and via ftp.

this is what i did.logged in as root then :

groupadd cassg
useradd cass
passwd cass -- i set pswd to abc123
usermod -g cassg cass

chown -R cass:cassg /files/Cass
(this is the folder i need them to access)

mkdir -p /export/home/cass
chown cass:cassg /export/home/cass
usermod -d /export/home/cass cass

chmod -R 0700 /export/home/cass

try to login :
login as: cass
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:
Access denied
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:



ahhh ! any ideas ?
thank you,
jay

I would take a quick look at your log files. What does your secure.log show for the reason of the sshd login failure?

jayparker 11-26-2013 03:10 PM

can you tell me where that log would be ?

Habitual 11-26-2013 03:20 PM

/var/log/auth.log or
/var/log/secure

jayparker 11-26-2013 03:25 PM

in /var/log i do not have an auth.log only a authlog but it has 0 file size.
I also do not have a /var/log/secure

Is sshd installed and running?


Also it could be in your syslog log, but looks like that was recently rotated so it will probably be in syslog.0 although what you could do to see whats happening in real time is do a tail -f /var/log/syslog and attempt to log in. Also if sshd is running you should be able to go into /etc/sshd/sshd_config and set the LogLevel and SysLogFacility.

You will also have your syslog configuration which controls this.

So for my /etc/syslog.conf I have:

authpriv.* /var/log/secure

And in my /etc/sshd/ssdh_config I have:

SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
#LogLevel Info


LogLevel Info is commented out but in your case since you are debugging set it to be on by uncommenting it. This will tell the system to log all messages from level of info on up to emergency and log them as authpriv which your syslog.conf has set to log to /var/log/secure.
