I just stumbled over chown not working under certain conditions from
a ssh login myself. If I ssh into a domain machine without supplying
a password, then I seem to be restricted in the operations that I
can do -- even though I am a member of the local Administrators group.
For example, I cannot chown a (local) file nor start/stop a service.
However, if I ssh via password exchange, then I can perform these operations.
On the other hand, if I ssh to a workgroup machine, then I can perform
these operations regardless of how I authenticate.
I know that it has been noted that one cannot access network shares from
a ssh login due to running under the LocalSystem account. But, I was
surprised by the chown and start/stop service restrictions since I
perceived them to be local operations.
Anyway, I'm not sure if you are in a domain environment or not. But if
you are, then this could explain the behavior that you were observing.
