> Because 'sshd' is finicky about permissions, doing this may well have removed your ability to run 'sshd' as a service under the default service user 'cyg_server'. With that would also come the loss of the ability to login with public key authentication. If any of this is important to you, you need to restore the previous state.
actually, worked fine. I added Full Control to "Everyone" to the windows directory, not via chmod/chown, and I am able to run it as a service without any issues. I have this weird problem that I am not sure if its due to sshd or not. I have the msvc toolchain checked into version control, so its not installed normally, when i use it as a normal user logged into my desktop everything works fine, but when i try to link in an ssh terminal i get LINK : fatal error LNK1101: incorrect MSPDB100.DLL version; recheck installation of this product make: *** [WinNT_Debug/test.exe] Error 77 If i start a screen as a regular user then login in via ssh and attach my screen everything works fine as well. any idea what i could be missing?
