Hi,
I've read the mailing lists and I know you guys don't think this is a
bug, but I wish you'd reconsider. I don't really care that "we did
things incorrectly in Cygwin 1.5 and it worked when it shouldn't have"
because:
1. I don't want my little SCP accounts to be local Administrators!
This is going to get flagged in any security audit.
2. There is no way I will ever get "Admin" on the domain for the sshd
account. It's a big domain. Over 5,000 staff. I own this one
machine. That's it.
Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition, SP2. I believe Cygwin recently
upgraded itself from 1.5 to 1.7. Cygcheck.out attached.
1. I run 'groups' command remotely over ssh. I'm asked for my password.
-
$ ssh jul...@1.2.3.4 groups
jul...@1.2.3.4's password:
None Users
2. I scp my public key.
-
$ scp authorized_keys jul...@1.2.3.4:~/.ssh/
jul...@1.2.3.4's password:
authorized_keys
3. I run 'groups' command remotely. Now it fails.
-
$ ssh jul...@1.2.3.4groups
58 [main] sshd 512 C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** fatal error -
could not load user32, Win32 error 1114
4. I scp my public key again for fun. It also fails.
-
$ scp authorized_keys jul...@1.2.3.4:~/.ssh/
105 [main] sshd 5012 C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** fatal error
- could not load user32, Win32 error 1114
lost connection
5. But I can ssh and then type 'groups'. Hmm.
-
$ ssh jul...@1.2.3.4
Last login: Wed Feb 10 14:41:32 2010 from flower
jul...@1.2.3.4 ~
$ groups
None Users
jul...@1.2.3.4 ~
$ exit
logout
Connection to 1.2.3.4 closed.
6. If I add myself to the local "Administrators" group things work.
-
$ ssh jul...@1.2.3.4groups
None Administrators Users
$ scp authorized_keys jul...@1.2.3.4:~/.ssh/
authorized_keys
7. If I remove myself from local "Administrators" group...
-
$ ssh jul...@1.2.3.4 groups
26 [main] sshd 3384 C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** fatal error
- could not load
