Running "net start sshd" in my own shell has the effect of starting the sshd Windows service that was installed by ssh-host-config. I think it is equivalent to starting the service using the Windows GUI. > > failed ssh login I see the following message in the Windows Event > > Viewer: > > > > sshd: PID xxxx: fatal: initgroups: myid: Invalid argument." > Sure looks to me by the message above that your "myid" isn't in > '/etc/groups'. Did you check that? Ah, you're close. Looking in /etc/passwd I see that myid's gid, which should be the number for "Domain Users" listed in /etc/group, is a different number. I think I know how that happened, but I will spare you the details. Putting the correct gid in /etc/passwd fixed the problem. Thanks.
