OK hours later and two re-installs I have come to the conclusion that none
of the online tutorials are 100% accurate.
More to the point: they are really lacking important informations regarding
adding users.
I know for a fact that the problem is related to permisions, but I have yet
to track it down completley.
The ONLY way i am able to have users log in successfully is if they are part
of the admin group (MS SBS 2003) which is really not what I want at all.
That gives them rights to the whole cygwin folder and that's just not going
to work.
I have read that the user needs to be able to WRITE to some files in the ETC
folder, but there is so much bad information about this project, I am not
sure what to think. I have had to log on locally with the user accounts in
order to get cwgwin to add a home folder for my clients which is a pain
becasue you have to change permissions to let the user log on locally and
then log in and create a damn profile for them. Then run the bash... OMG
Anyway, even after I did all that (I did resolve the passwrod error issue by
doing that) it still give me the "cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the
host running an SFTP server?" ERROR. So I guess the standard domain user
does not have the rights to run something (maybe as a process?)
Anyway, I have searched and SEARCHED for answers but have found non on the
cygwin site or Google, and frankly, I think there is so much DIS-information
out there, I am afraid to ask the wrong person. So if you can help me I
would appreciate it.
Can I add users WITHOUT them being in the admin group?
Thanks
Curt

Sorry to bother you with this.
I think the cygwin stuff is great, and I used to run it on a 2000 server
build without issue. Now that I have 2003 SBS running I am running into
an issue were I can only log on remotely with the admin accnt that was
ceated from start up. If I add users to the admin group I can log on
but they just have desktop access and they don't go into the user
folders I created manually (the script did not work) I see you have a
work around here: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg00312.html
But I am too much of a rookie to implement the fix.
If it's not too much trouble, could you PLEASE do a step by step for me.
Again, I am running SBS 2003 with all the updates.
I feel like a moron for asking, but I have tried for the last 3 hours to
make this work.
I really appreciate your help!

Did you happen to notice that this "workaround" is 3.5 years old? The
ssh-host-config script has since been augmented to work OOTB on 2003.
Please describe precisely the steps you took, the results you got, and
what exactly doesn't work in your setup. You might also want to review
Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
and provide the information requested there (in particular, the output of
"cygcheck -svr" on your system as an uncompressed text attachment).
Without this information, we cannot really help.
