I've been fighting with SSH for a week now, I've read everything I can google, it's finally time to ask for help.
I can ssh to any account using a password, no problem. It bombs with a cannot seteuid error in the event log when I use a keypair. The account name is sfinfo. The permissions of /home/sfinfo are 755 The permissions of /home/sfinfo/.ssh are 755 The permissions of /home/sfinfo/.ssh/authorized_keys are 644 The authorized_keys file contains one DSA public key. The permissions on the private key, sfinfo_id_dsa are 600. RSAAuthentication and PubKeyAuthentication are both set to "yes" in sshd_config, and the AuthorizedKeysFile is set to .ssh/authorized_keys I'm using ssh -i sfinfo_id_dsa [EMAIL PROTECTED] I receive this error when running checkcheck as anyone but Administrator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$ cygcheck.exe -s -v -r > ~/cygcheck2.txt /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'TapiSrv': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. This is the result from doing cygcheck -s -v -r as the sfinfo user after ssh'ing in with a password: Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Tue Sep 09 04:47:04 2008 Windows 2003 Server Ver 5.2 Build 3790 Service Pack 2 Path: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin c:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\ c:\WINDOWS\system32 c:\WINDOWS c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem C:\cygwin\bin Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec) UID: 1029(sfinfo) GID: 513(None) 513(None) 547(Power Users) 545(Users) Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec) UID: 1029(sfinfo) GID: 513(None) 513(None) 547(Power Users) 545(Users) SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\system32 WinDir: C:\WINDOWS USER = 'sfinfo' PWD = '/home/sfinfo' CYGWIN = 'ntsec' HOME = '/home/sfinfo' MAKE_MODE = 'unix' HOMEPATH = '\cygwin\home\sfinfo' MANPATH = '/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/man::/usr/ssl/man' HOSTNAME = 'cit-8j0wppuv2l9' TERM = 'cygwin' SHELL = '/bin/bash' PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = 'x86 Family 15 Model 104 Stepping 2, AuthenticAMD' WINDIR = 'C:\WINDOWS' SSH_CLIENT = '127.0.0.1 1037 22' OLDPWD = '/home/sfinfo' USERDOMAIN = 'CIT-8J0WPPUV2L9' SSH_TTY = '/dev/tty1' OS = 'Windows_NT' ALLUSERSPROFILE = 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' TEMP = '/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/CYG_SE~1.005/LOCALS~1/Temp' COMMONPROGRAMFILES = 'C:\Program Files\Common Files' USERNAME = 'sfinfo' PROCESSOR_LEVEL = '15' MAIL = '/var/spool/mail/sfinfo' SYSTEMDRIVE = 'C:' PS1 = '\[\e]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ ' LOGONSERVER = '\\CIT-8J0WPPUV2L9' PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = 'x86' SHLVL = '1' PATHEXT = '.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH' HOMEDRIVE = 'C:' COMSPEC = 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' LOGNAME = 'sfinfo' TMP = '/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/CYG_SE~1.005/LOCALS~1/Temp' SYSTEMROOT = 'C:\WINDOWS' PRINTER = 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer' CVS_RSH = '/bin/ssh' PROCESSOR_REVISION = '6802' SSH_CONNECTION = '127.0.0.1 1037 127.0.0.1 22' INFOPATH = '/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/info:' PROGRAMFILES = 'C:\Program Files' NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS = '1' COMPUTERNAME = 'CIT-8J0WPPUV2L9' _ = '/usr/bin/cygcheck.exe' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 (default) = '/cygdrive' cygdrive flags = 0x00000022 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (default) = 'C:\cygwin' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin (default) = 'C:\cygwin/bin' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib (default) = 'C:\cygwin/lib' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options a: fd N/A N/A c: hd NTFS 7153Mb 82% CP CS UN PA FC d: cd CDFS 565Mb 100% CS BRMSVOL_EN C:\cygwin / system binmode C:\cygwin/bin /usr/bin system binmode C:\cygwin/lib /usr/lib system binmode . /cygdrive system binmode,cygdrive Found: C:\cygwin\bin\awk.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cat.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe Not Found: cpp (good!)
