Friends, I am trying to install SSH on a Windows 2003 server since last 3 days and still no luck.
I have tried literally everything and searched 100s of google pages but I am getting this error.I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me resolve this. Here's the trace from the server end: E:\Program Files\OpenSSH\usr\sbin>sshd -d debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug1: private host key: #0 type 1 RSA debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: private host key: #1 type 2 DSA debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0.

I have given full control to all these files to the "Administrator" and the "System" account. My /etc/passwd and /etc/group files look proper and also have full control by "Administrator" and "System" accounts.I have also changed the Administrator home to point to /home/Administrator/OpenSSH I have generated my private/public key on the client end(windows box) using puttygen and copied my public key into the E:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/OpenSSH/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Please Please help.
