I'm trying to add a user account to our OSXS 10.5.4 server. All this
user is allowed to do is ssh in. What is the best way to add such an
account? Shouldn't going through System Preferences -> Users be
sufficient? When I add the user account this way and try to ssh into
it, the password is not recognized and the system log says:
Jul 23 21:30:38 /usr/sbin/PasswordService[62]: client response
doesn't match what we generated
Jul 23 21:30:38: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
Jul 23 21:30:38 emond[72]: Host at by will be blocked for at least
15.00 minutes
Jul 23 21:30:38 emond[1048]: DoRunAction (child): setting the uid/
gid to 0/0
What am I doing wrong?
A little more info on this...
Im trying to create a local user on our server. I go into Workgroup
Manager, authenticate to /Local/Default, then click on New User, and
fill out the username (jsmith) and password fields and click Save. It
appears to work. But when attempting to log in as that user, the
password is not accepted. The log file has this:
Jul 24 10:32:58 emond[72]: Host at by will be blocked for at least
15.00 minutes
Jul 24 10:32:58 emond[5760]: DoRunAction (child): setting the uid/gid
to 0/0
Jul 24 10:32:59 emond[72]: Host at jsmith will be blocked for at least
15.00 minutes
Jul 24 10:32:59 emond[5763]: DoRunAction (child): setting the uid/gid
to 0/0
Jul 24 10:32:59 emond[72]: Host at jsmith will be blocked for at least
15.00 minutes
Jul 24 10:32:59 emond[5766]: DoRunAction (child): setting the uid/gid
to 0/0
Im no expert at this, so any words of advice will be most appreciated!
