That suggests an earlier (Cygwin-install-time) error, doesn't it? I should have said I did exactly _no_ group/permission by-hand fiddling to get the setup I sent. All happened auto-magically as a result of basic install. Looking at my download area, I see I installed cygwin, cygrunsrv and openssh all as part of my initial install. I can't immediately detect any sign of what initialisations ran in what order -- /etc/sshd_config was built about an hour after the downloads. . . ht -- Henry S.
