I have a problem with ssh using this on a domain machine.
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.3 cbreisch-win8 1.7.30s(0.272/5/3) 20140514 11:29:16 x86_64
Cygwin
I had ssh set up and working properly before installing the snapshot.
$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files
group: files
If I leave it using files, I have no problems.
So, I change it to db and attempt to restart sshd
$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: db
group: db
# cygrunsrv -E sshd
# cygrunsrv -S sshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
Add files back in:
$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: db files
group: db files
$ cygrunsrv -S sshd
works perfectly.
It appears to have something to do with the cyg_server account. Perhaps
because I set it up before I installed the snapshot? Why would that matter?
In any event, when set to use files, I can do this:
$ id cyg_server
uid=1008(cyg_server) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),0(root),545(Users)
when only using db, I get
$ id cyg_server
id: cyg_server: no such user
cyg_server does exist on the machine:
$ net users
User accounts for \\CBREISCH-WIN8

Administrator Chris clfs
cyg_server Guest LocalAdmin
man sshd
The command completed successfully.
and is in /etc/passwd
$ grep cyg_server /etc/passwd
cyg_server:unused:1008:513:Privileged
server,U-CBREISCH-WIN8\cyg_server,S-1-5-21-2077790098-1200989767-2685255527-1008:/cygdrive/d/cygwin/root/var/empty:/bin/bash
Interesting, I just noticed that it says /cygdrive/d/cygwin/root...
There's no such path.
$ ls /cygdrive/d/cygwin/root
ls: cannot access /cygdrive/d/cygwin/root: No such file or directory
I changed my /cygdrive mount to /win
but even /win/d/cygwin/root doesn't exist. .../cygwin/root is from an
old install.
$ ls /win/d/cygwin/root
ls: cannot access /win/d/cygwin/root: No such file or directory
