I try to use sshd on Windows 2008 Standard server: fresh install windows, fresh cygwin.

If the test user is not part of the administrators group I do not get access: Permission denied.

If I reinstall the service with following command: /usr/bin/cygrunsrv -I sshd -d "CYGWIN sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-d" -y tcpip -u cyg_server -w "password"

(Something confusing: in /etc/passwd both Administrator and my test user are member of the group "Domain Users". However these groups have a different GID: 513 for Administrator and 10513 for the test user.)
And that's the answer to your question. Unless you've set cyg_server up as a domain user (which the sshd_config script doesn't do), you won't be able to switch to a domain user context. 10513 is typically named "Domain Users" and is a domain group. 513 is typically named "None" and is a local group. Make your test user a local user (which will put it in the 513 group) and things should work better for you. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
