Hi, (Cygwin64, Windows 7, cygcheck attached - with some site details omitted)
I updated cygwin64 yesterday, and sshd stopped working. I reinstalled cygwin64, configured sshd, but it is still failing. The message in /var/log/sshd.log is: /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. I tried fixing the permissions (started shell as administrator) but I cannot change the group permission via chmod g-w. I don't get any error messages. Here are the permissions for /var/empty (some details elided): >ls -ld /var/empty drwxr-xr--+ 1 MACHINE+cyg_server Administrators 0 Feb 24 16:12 /var/empty/ I am member of the administrators group on my machine. The cyg_server and sshd users look ok. Any thoughts on why I cannot change the permission? Thanks, Mirko
