My apologies if this has asked before. I researched as much as I could on my own. I hope a kind soul can direct me to a useful resource.
I installed Cygwin on a Windows 2003 Server with OpenSSH 4.2p1-1. After installing I ran ssh-host-config and chose privilege separation. "privilege separation" -> Yes "create local user sshd_server" -> Yes "install sshd as a service" -> Yes CYGWIN=" -> ntsec I synced the users and passwords with: mkpasswd --local > /etc/passwd mkgroup --local > /etc/group Now the weird thing is that I am able to log in (ssh in). I'm part of the administrator group. I set up another user as a "normal" user and they are not able to authenticate and get in. If I promote this user to be part of the administrator group he/she is able to get in. I read this thread and noticed a poster stated if one read the readme in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin that this should cover all I need to know. I did read it and I am not seeing where I made the mistake. Can anyone assist me on where I am making a mistake? http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg01043.html - Damian -- 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/
