I try to use sshd on Windows 2008 Standard server: fresh install windows, fresh cygwin. Installation of ssh with ssh-host-config -y (standard) When I login with the administrator or with a user who is part of the administrators group I can login. If the test user is not part of the administrators group I do not get access: Permission denied. If I reinstall the service with following command: /usr/bin/cygrunsrv -I sshd -d "CYGWIN sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-d" -y tcpip -u cyg_server -w "password" I get debugging info in /var/log/sshd.log. (CYGWIN env is set via Computer, and is et to "ntsec mintty") As member of administrators the first try on password authentication is ok. As non-member I need to try 3 times and it fails. However: same information is entered, same info in /etc/passwd is used. When I install as member of administratorsthe ssh-key for this user (with ssh-copy-id) I can login. When I change the membership of the test user back tot non-admin I still can login on basis of the key but I get a warning of not being able to access the home folder. So aparently it is not a password problem (contrary to problem reported in sshd.log?) What rights are needed for the homefolder? for whom? I tried a lot of combinations but without success (home under c:\cygwin\home, via a share, on another disk with full access for my test user, ...) (Something confusing: in /etc/passwd both Administrator and my test user are member of the group "Domain Users". However these groups have a different GID: 513 for Administrator and 10513 for the test user.)
