- Subject: root and chown
Hello,
a do have a problem with my cygwin-NFS-Server, root and chown
On my windows computer:
root@server:grep root /etc/passwd
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
operator:*:12:0:operator:/root:
root@server:chown root sshd/
chown: changing ownership of `sshd': Invalid argument
On the nfs client (imported its file system per nfs):
root@client:/var/empty# grep root /etc/passwd
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
operator:*:12:0:operator:/root:/bin/sh
root@client:/var/empty# chown root sshd/
chown: changing ownership of `sshd/': Invalid argument
Where is my error? How can I solve this?
The original proble is that I want to start the ssd-server on the client
but:
root@client:/var/empty# /etc/init.d/ssh start
Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd/var/empty/sshd must be owned
by root and not group or world-writable.
failed (255: ).
Bye - Robert
