Corrina, I was looking through that message you suggested reading and Im not sure if you see the same thing Im seeing.
I did get another response from another user group which will remain nameless (don't want to upset Larry :) ), which this was his response: Hi, I had the same problem and didn't get any answer from this list yet (guess we aren't to many of us using 2003 yet:-). But after three full days of trial and error I got it working by: - starting the sshd service under another user than the "Local System account" with password (I use an acount with Administrator privileges but don't know if it is needed). - chown the following files to that user: chown <user> /etc/ssh_host* chown <user> /var/empty chown <user> /var/log/sshd.log I think that was all, hope it helps!
