Hi all,
Our facility has been using Cygwin-1.5.12-1 on Windows 2000 with our
account home directories on a windows network shared folder using both a local
login and an ssh remote system login with no problems.
I recently tried Cygwin-1.5.18 and 19 and find that the network share
account home directories return an access denied when logging in using ssh with
password authentication, but a local login works fine.
The Cygwin "whoami" command reports the correct username, however the
Window Resource kit "whoami.exe" reports "NT Authority\SYSTEM" for the username
when using a password authenticated ssh login. The user's SID is identical,
just the username is different.
I have read responses in the Cygwin mail lists that indicated that RSA
authenticated logins should act this way (no access to network shares due to
incomplete user impersonation) however it also indicated that password
authentication should provide network share access.
A minimal installation of Cygwin to support ssh (Cygwin with cygrunsrv
and openssh) shows proper user context switching for Cygwin-1.5.12-1 but fails
using Cygwin-1.5.19-4.
I do not have access to versions 13-17 so I cannot determine at what
point full support of password authentication "broke".
Is no access to network shares when using ssh password authentication
the intended Cygwin ssh functionality?
Dave
