sshd2 reports "setuid: EDC5157I An internal error has occurred."

0	User loging to my Tectia z/OS server fails with the error: "setuid: EDC5157I An internal error has occurred." What is wrong? zos mainframe internal-error asked Jan 27 '11 at 10:36 SSH KB ♦ 509●253●251●241

One Answer:

If a login attempt fails and server log shows a following line, the reason could be that sshd2 is not program controlled.

sshd2[50397305 : FATAL: setuid: EDC5157I An internal error has occurred.]

To see if sshd2 is program controlled or not, run the following command in OMVS:

extattr /opt/tectia/sbin/sshd2

If sshd2 is not program controlled, make it program controlled by running the following command as uid=0 user:

extattr +p /opt/tectia/sbin/sshd2
