I just upgraded to the latest openSSH, and installed sshd as a service using cygrunsrv - that part went flawlessly; thanks for the new utility. I tested it by running "ssh localhost". I logged on OK, but I notice that I have the following two errors in my event log: 1) The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: sshd : Win32 Process Id = 0x434 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x434 : DSA authentication refused for stanton: bad ownership or modes for '/c/.ssh/authorized_keys2'.. 2) The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: sshd : Win32 Process Id = 0x434 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x434 : RSA authentication refused for stanton: bad ownership or modes for '/c/.ssh/authorized_keys2'.. Does this matter? By the way, I generated the file /c/.ssh/authorized_keys2 using the most recent version of ssh_host_config prior to the current version, and didn't get these messages with the last sshd.exe. Deleting the file completely doesn't seem to cause any problems (and gets rid of these error messages). Richard Stanton -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
