I have openssh version 4.6p1-1 installed under WinXP SP2 with all

"CYGWIN=ntsec tty"; sshd started with "net start sshd"; all done under
the administrative account "developer"). I then updated the password and
group files using "mkpasswd --local > /etc/passwd" and "mkgroup --local
/etc/group". Windows Firewall has port 22 open for sshd.
Problem: I can't ssh in as developer using a password. I've successfully
copied over a public key into .ssh/authorized_keys2, and I can login
just fine from my expected machines, but I really need to be able to
login from unexpected machines (which won't have their public keys in
authorized_keys2).
Any suggestions?
Look at the log (Windows' event viewer), what's the error sent when you try to
login?
Just what you'd expect: "Failed password for
development from 192.168.1.101 port 1121 ssh2".
(BTW, the account is named "development", not
"developer" as I first stated; if I try an
incorrect username, I get "invalid user"
messages, so it's not a username issue.)
Thanks,
Dan
P.S. Thanks for noting that log entries end up in
the Windows Event Viewer; in the past I've spent
many a happy hour wondering where the %$^&
logfiles were stored in Windows.
