ssh does not work inside nix-user-chroot #97

Closed jarkkojs closed 1 year ago

jarkkojs commented 1 year ago

Result:

Bad owner or permissions on /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/50-redhat.conf

Other:

$ ls -l /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 831 Jan 21  2022 50-redhat.conf

Environment:

Can be worked around by using dbclient from dropbear for common use cases (e.g. ssh logins and git) but e.g. mosh does not play well with it.

The problem here is that all uid's outside of nix-user-chroot are mapped to nobody. With unprivileged usernamespaces we can only ever map one user at the time. This is a restriction of Linux works. Since you are using wsl2 can you not install nix normally?
