Hello, is it possible to use a Cygwin sshd on Windows 98 First Edition? The machine is only used inside a abstracted network, but it is needed for a special software, and we need SSH access to the machine.
I already set up a Cygwin environment and configured it with these options: Set Cygwin variable: set CYGWIN=tty set path=C:\cygwin\bin ssh-host-config -y mkpasswd -l -g > /etc/passwd Contents of file: admin:use_crypt:500:544:Administrator:/home/admin:/bin/bash Administrator:use_crypt:895:544:Administrator:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash mkgroup -l > /etc/group Contents of file: all::544: cd / chmod -R og-w . chmod og+w /tmp touch /var/log/sshd.log chown system:system /var/log/sshd.log /var/empty /etc/ssh_h* chmod 755 /var/empty Afterwards I started sshd.exe manually inside the /usr/sbin/ directory. Now I can connect to the machine through a SSH-client, key exchange works well, and I get a login prompt, but I cannot login using my username "Administrator" and the password I set using the "rights management" in Windows 98. Login is not even possible from localhost. Relieing to the unuseable rights management in Windows 98, is it even possible to use Windows 98 as a SSH server?
