Dear Cygwin experts, we installed Cygwin/OpenSSH V.5.3
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 d00atq49 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009 on a Windows 2008 64-bit system. Unfortunetly the key authentication does not work. The connection initiation interrupts on server side with the following errors: seteuid <user-id>: Permission denied debug1: userauth-request for user testuser01 service ssh-connection method none debug1: attempt 0 failures 0 debug3: Trying to reverse map address 10.2.240.11. debug2: parse_server_config: config reprocess config len 229 debug2: input_userauth_request: setting up authctxt for testuser01 debug2: input_userauth_request: try method none Failed none for testuser01 from 10.2.240.11 port 2467 ssh2 debug3: Wrote 80 bytes for a total of 1549 debug1: userauth-request for user testuser01 service ssh-connection method publickey debug1: attempt 1 failures 0 debug2: input_userauth_request: try method publickey debug1: test whether pkalg/pkblob are acceptable debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1011/513 (e=18/544) seteuid 1011: Permission denied debug1: do_cleanup The password authentication with the same user on the same server works fine. The OpenSSHd service is running under system account. The file cyglsa64.dll is loaded from the registry key "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Authentication Packages". The public key file is owned by the user "testuser01", to which I want to switch to, and is readable for group and all others. The OpenSSHd service is running without Privilege Separation (we also tried this in meantime, but fails, too). It's the same configuration as we have used since years on our Windows Server 2003 systems (32-bit). What can be the reason(s) for this behaviour?
