I am having problems setting up sshd to run under a domain sshd_server
account instead of a local sshd_server account.
Why do I want to do that? Because in the default install, starting a
cygwin shell from the console gives me a much different environment and
permissions than if I start a cygwin shell via ssh. For example, from a
console shell on the Windows 2003 Server:
$ echo $USER
tschutter
$ echo $USERNAME
tschutter
$ echo $HOSTNAME
fdsvbld01sgrape
$ echo $USERDOMAIN
FLOODDATA
$ id
uid=18718(tschutter) gid=10513(Domain Users)
groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),10513(Domain
Users),18169(FDSV-GG-PrxBLD),22611(FDSV-GG-PrxPCAdmins)
$ ls //other/f$
Data RECYCLER System\ Volume\ Information
But when I login via ssh:
$ echo $USER
tschutter
$ echo $USERNAME
sshd_server
$ echo $HOSTNAME
fdsvbld01sgrape
$ echo $USERDOMAIN
FDSVBLD01SGRAPE
$ id
uid=18718(tschutter) gid=10513(Domain Users)
groups=545(Users),10513(Domain Users)
$ ls //other/f$
ls: cannot access //other/f$: Permission denied
Obviously you're using pubkey authentication. If that's not an absolute
requirement for you, then use password authentication. That will resolve
your problem. Otherwise, if you must use pubkey authentication, I'll
direct you to the FAQ:
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.shares>
These are the recommended workarounds for this issue for the 1.5.x
Cygwin package series.
The 1.7.x Cygwin package series will offer an alternative approach
which resolves the issue but is not released so it's only available in
snapshots. Search for 'cyglsa' if you're curious about this new facility.
