Re: Authentication problems with check_by_ssh

Hi there,

As far as I understand, netsaint starts as root, and the setuid's to the 
netsaint user. Is it possible that the netsaint process still has e.g. 
$HOME=/root and therefore looks in /root/.ssh/*? (Which it by the way 
can't because it is readonly by root?)

What happens when you do this as root?
root# sudo -u netsaint /some/path/check_by_ssh yada yada yada
? Does that fail too?

As step along the way, make sure the "sudo -u netsaint" command can even 
see /root/.ssh...
Of course this is not a working solution - what params does ssh have?... 
Hmm.. Thats for you to try...

If you get that working, doesn't check_by_ssh then work too? 

Peter
