Hi All... I'm running sshd from an non-SYSTEM account on a Win2k SP2 machine. I've done this in the past, but the (Cygwin) world has changed a bit since I last set it up.
The non-SYSTEM account in in the administrators group, and I have given it the following privs: Act as part of the operating system Increase quotas (Administrators group) Log on as a service Replace a process level token One thing I found is that the log file in /var/log must be protected so the new account can write to it. This is an issue when I install the sshd in the default way and then later change the account. Without this, the service refuses to start with the 3534 message. This might be worth a note in the readme file. The problem I have is that when I log in from a different account name, using public key authentication, it kicks me back out with the following local dialog: $ ssh remote-machine Enter passphrase for key '/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa': Last login: Thu Nov 29 06:45:02 2001 from local-machine Connection to remote-machine closed by remote host. Connection to remote-machine closed. the verbose log doesn't seem to provide much more information. The log file in /var/log for the sshd service is empty. In the system application log I see the following entries: /usr/sbin/sshd : Win32 Process Id = 0x240 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x240 : Accepted publickey for user-name from 1.2.3.4 port 1217 ssh2. /usr/sbin/sshd : Win32 Process Id = 0x470 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x470 : fatal: setuid 1000: Not owner. /usr/sbin/sshd : Win32 Process Id = 0x240 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x240 : fatal: Write failed: errno ESHUTDOWN triggered. What am I missing here?
