The files have these permissions:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ ls -l /etc/ssh*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator None 1292 Jan 18 13:44 /etc/ssh_config
-rw------- 1 Administrator None 1192 Jan 18 13:44 /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator None 1121 Jan 18 13:44 /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
-rw------- 1 Administrator None 982 Jan 18 13:43 /etc/ssh_host_key
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator None 646 Jan 18 13:43 /etc/ssh_host_key.pub
-rw------- 1 Administrator None 1675 Jan 18 13:43 /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator None 401 Jan 18 13:43 /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administrator None 2830 Jan 18 13:44 /etc/sshd_config
In all servers I'm using the "Administrator" account. The only difference
between these 4 servers is that 2 of them are Domain Controllers and the
other 2 are members of this domain. In the servers where the ssh-host-config
script works perfectly all of them are standalone servers.
So the question is: Why the Administrator can't change/chown the owner of
the /etc/ssh* files to SYSTEM?
Because your are bound by the laws of ntfs access control entrys. Having rights
to write to a file doesn't mean you are allowed to change its owner. You need
permissions to change the directory the files are in.
And getting this right is easier in windows than in cygwin.
Use cacls to look at etc and the files.
