Hello, We have configured Cygwin on Windows XP. SOmehow we managed to configure the SSH onto cygwin for a user called "mac". We could login to windows XP with the local user name mac and then start the cygwin. And then /usr/sbin/sshd. Its the only way currently how we get to start the sshd daemon. And we could connect from remote system to this XP system using "ssh -l mac winxp". But now the problem is we can not make other users login to this winxp host. Here are few of the details help you understand the environment, $ ls -l /etc/ssh* -rwxr-x--- 1 mac Kein 1482 Mar 23 13:47 /etc/ssh_config -rw------- 1 mac Kein 668 Mar 23 13:47 /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 mac Kein 603 Mar 23 13:47 /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub -rw------- 1 mac Kein 976 Mar 23 13:47 /etc/ssh_host_key -rw-r--r-- 1 mac Kein 640 Mar 23 13:47 /etc/ssh_host_key.pub -rw------- 1 mac Kein 1671 Mar 23 13:47 /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 mac Kein 395 Mar 23 13:47 /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub -rw-r--r-- 1 mac Kein 3258 Mar 23 13:48 /etc/sshd_config
