Hi Cygwin, We have some trouble with OpenSSH in Cygwin. We think, that the impersonation does not work in the 1.7 cywin, but can't figure out why.
- We followed http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.sshd-in-domain to integrate sshd into our domain. There is a domain\cyg_server user ( c ) with all the permissions needed. - Test: We log on using o (a) the local Windows Administrator using ssh o (b) using a Domain\Administrator account o (c) the Domain (Admin) Account that runs sshd server. (domain\cyg_server Problem is: The (b) Domain Administrator Account is not reported to be a member of the local Administrators group. And he has no admin rights (test: configure a Windows Service) What we observed is: - The Domain Admin Account that the Cygwin sshd Service runs under (domain\cyg_server) has all the permissions. - A local Administrator that connects using ssh has all the permission. - BUT the best thing: In legacy Cygwin installations the Domain Admin Account *has* local Admin permissions Can anyone help? This is the output of id, then sc service sshd start and uname -a: A Windows XP with Cygwin legacy (note the Administrators Group) uid=11100(domainadm) gid=10512(Domain Admins) groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),1009(Debugger Users),10512(Domain Admins) [SC] StartService FAILED 1056: An instance of the service is already running.
