It's not clear whether your '/etc/groups' file is up-to-date on your XP
machine. Try running 'mkgroup -l -d >/etc/group'. If you have trouble
XP machine is at my office and the w2k3 server is at my residence.
The 'etc/group' file on the XP box was build local to the machine and
the domain it is connected to as well as the password file. According
to the documentation I've seen on this, the client side (connecting
from) 'group & passwd' files do not 'participate' in the
authentication to the server. That the 'server side' is unable to
properly validate the incoming client credentials against the 'server
side' '/etc/group & /etc/passwd' files.
doing this, check if you need to specify your domain as well.
Example of SSH connection process:
SSH ssh_server_domain_name -l username
adding the @ and domain behind the username also does not work.
Administrators have no problem connecting, but no other users can.
