Listfolk:
I have finally achieved a working sshd on Win2k w/FAT filesystems. Also, cygrunsrv appears to be functioning properly. Steps taken were: 1) Created links for Cygwin's var, tmp, usr, etc, and bin dir's in c:/ (in other words, these dir's are hanging off of /). Both srvany and cygrunsrv appear to require these, else cygrunsrv returns the "Service did not return an error" message, and does not start. 2) A reference on another site tipped me off here - the sites used procedures which evoked sshd *without* a sshd_config file. As I'm using password authentication, sshd's default behaviour will suffice. HTH and thanks for the service, _Dave_ Dave Pinsker [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 18 Dec 2001, Dave Pinsker wrote: > > By way of follow-up to my original message > (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00189.html), I'd like to > update the list with a change in status. > > I was able to eliminate the "Illegal User" error by modifying the system > environment path to DOS short names (example: c:\progra~1) > > However, I now receive: > "Failed password for <username> from <source IP> port <source port>" > > I will continue to debug and keep the list informed. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
