Please read and follow the above guidelines, paying particular attention to
the part about *attaching* cygcheck output.

In the absence of the above, my WAG is that the user you are logging in as
(domain user perhaps?) is not in your '/etc/passwd' file.  See 'man passwd'
and the Cygwin Users Guide  for more
details.  Ditto for '/etc/group'.


Okay.

Firstly we have this little error that comes straight after running it:


[501] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
'id' program not found
'id' program not found



This suggests your installation isn't complete.  It's hard to say how
incomplete without the full cygcheck output but why don't you just try
re-running 'setup.exe' and walking through all the pages and see if you
can find 'id' after that.  I'm wondering if some postinstall scripts
didn't run.  If that doesn't work, look in '/etc/postinstall' for any
scripts there that don't have a '.done' suffix.  Make a note of these
and try running them yourself.  See if that helps.  If not, report what
you did and saw.



It does then run, but it recurses forever on one of Windows' (many :-/)
recursive registry nodes.  I've attached the portion of the file before
this takes place, in the hope that the stuff which comes after won't be
needed.



Yikes!   Never seen or heard of this before.  This doesn't strike me as a
'Good Thing'(tm).  I don't know if it's coming into play here or not but
it doesn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling.



/etc/passwd looks like this:





/etc/group has:


Yeah these look OK.  It looks like you're working on your on machine outside
of any Windows domain.  That's useful info (though not clearly pointing to a
solution).

The 'daniel' line exists and does appear to be set to the right user,
except that my username should start with a lowercase d in there but I
tried changing that just now and it didn't make a difference.  Gotta
wonder where it got that capital letter from though, my username all
throughout Windows doesn't have it.

Do you want to install sshd as service?

Should this script create a new local account 'sshd_server' which has
the required privileges? (yes/no) yes



Which value should the environment variable CYGWIN have when
sshd starts? It's recommended to set at least "ntsec" to be
able to change user context without password.
Default is "ntsec".  CYGWIN=



However on logging in...

Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
Could not chdir to home directory /home/daniel: Permission denied

Permissions on my home directory are correct as I can get into it via 
Explorer.  The problem is elsewhere -- if I look in the process list, the 
bash.exe process is running as user "(unknown)", not as my user account.


I'm not sure what to do from here.  What part of Cygwin is responsible for 
changing the user ID when a user logs in via SSH, and what is usually 
responsible for it misbehaving?
