Well, the whole Cygwin directory is owned by an administrative domain account, so unless I can tell sshd that this account is the equivalent of root it will always complain about some directory up the chain. > No, so far it's a special feature for AIX and HP/UX only.

One system path is enough, so I'd rather have a way to configure some directory tree to be treated like the user's home (i.e. check the directory permissions only up to some certain point). > It always depends on the account used to create the system dirs, which > can vary from installation to installation.

I'd rather avoid messing with the uid since I'd want that to show up correctly in other places if possible. But that would at least be something I can try without recompiling sshd or anything else.
