I don't know that I need anything different, but I've had trouble with sshd ever since Vista. I'm still nailing down the details for a proper trouble report, but I'm currently wrestling with a Win 7 laptop and have only gotten as far as running as my privileged "root" account -- which means I can only log in as root rather than switching. I miss the very explicit step-by-step third-party documentation that has gone dark :-( More to come when, again, I can put together a coherent account, but I'd sure love to see some advice on the matter! % % There is Cygwin-specific documentation in % /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README.
