Larry, I started with the just running the script and it didn't work. I have only been trying chmod and the other stuff in my previous post since then. Will I get more help if I uninstall everything and try it again? I am just trying to get sftp to work. I'll run mkpasswd -d je28...@tjanus.cap>> /etc/passwd je28...@tjanus.cap is the domain account I am signed on with. But the issue I am having is logging into ssh with a local account (test), not je28004.
And I will change the owner of /var/empty to sshd_server which is the local account that the sshd service uses. I have separated privileges turned on and in the readme it looked like it wanted the Owner to be SYSTEM. Thanks for your help, any guidance will be appreciated. I have tried all the stuff I know how to do so I am boned unless someone can help me. SFTP is the only way I can back up this device and the project I am working on is at a complete standstill until I can get a backup solution in place. Any time spent helping me is enormously appreciated.

SYSTEM is the proper owner for XP and W2K. For later WIndows versions, it's cyg_server. See ssh-host-config and related scripts for all the details. Since it's not possible to know what you've done in the process of playing around with this, you'll need to manually check all the permissions and ownerships of files mentioned in the scripts to make sure they are set as they are supposed to be. This is why using the scripts is highly recommended. It's allot less work and error-prone. ;-) <snip> > Also, every time I log in to the bash shell, I get this: > Your group is currently "mkgroup".
