What does the event log show? In any case, you should not only check permissions on sshd.exe, but also on all files which are accessed by sshd. The general rule is that all these files must be owned by the user running sshd. In your case Administrator. If I'd want to run sshd under another account for testing purposes, I'd do this: $ chown <other-account> /etc/ssh* /var/empty You should also have another look into the permissions of the private host keys. They should be very strong: $ chmod 600 /etc/ssh_host*key Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
