This problem has dragged me for a long time. ( i was trying to make
devenv.exe work through sshd on cygwin). My conclusion is that you can use
password authentication, otherwise it won't work. (if you use password
authentication, it should work, otherwise you have different problem). My
understanding of the problem is that: sshd is running under a system user
which is SYSTEM on your windows. So if you are using a different user, say
JohnSmith, to ssh log in, and you are not using password authentication, you
are in fact not properly authenticated with Windows. So windows still
consider your session is under SYSTEM, not JohnSmith. (to verify that, once
you ssh in and got a bash shell, look at USERNAME). Only if you use password
authentication and explicitly typed the password, Windows can get you
authenticated properly and then your ssh session is running under JohnSmith.
This user difference caused some application (in my case devenv.exe)
permission problem and the application can not run correctly.
So now, i am using Expect to explicitly "type" password to emulate
passwordless log in, to some extend.

You've left allot for us to infer from your description, including your
Cygwin configuration (sshd and general), how you ssh in (password or

My WAG is that you're using pubkey authentication. If so, try
password.
I apologize for not providing enough information but you did come up
with the correct reason. When I logged in via password, and not public
key, the vshadow program did function correctly.
After doing some searching I have concluded that this operation is not
possible using public key authentication.
Right. Not in 1.5.x.
