sshd in cygwin
Hi, I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask this question. My apologies if I am intruding into your mailbox. After starting sshd in cygwin on my winXP machine, do I need to setup user accounts? I am unable to ssh into my windows machine (using my regular windows account) from elsewhere because, I think, I do not have users set up. Can someone tell me how to do that ?

For mor information, see /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README. Igor P.S. This may or may not be the right place, depending on what instructions you used to set up your sshd service. If you used the abovementioned README file, this is the right place. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

the instruction of setting up sshd in cygwin is too vague
Thanks to let me know which instruction is correct one. I got the trouble with the official instruction. I just wonder if you can give me some help, I am new in this area? My goal is establishing a vista or XP professional base sshd server in laboratory so that everyone in the lab can use this computer to do data analysis with ssd client application. I thought the best thing is that everyone can work simultaneously and interface in every client computer is easy to use such as windows system. I even don't know if cygwin can realize this goal or not? Yesterday, I tried the official instruction following the protocol described in your email. 1. choose the package. I chose the openssh, xorg-x11-base, tcp_wrapper. 2. after installation, I tried to run ssh-host-config under /usr/bin, but I cannot even find a subfolder named bin under /usr folder. Instead, I found ssh-host-config file under C:\cygwin\bin. It is unexecutable file. So I ran ssh-host-config under the prompt in cygwin bash shell after I started it. 3. There are many opitions I can choose. I input ssh-host-config -d -c options -w pwd I thought the user sshd_server is a default user name. if is that meaning that I have to set up a sshd_server name in user accounts under XP professional? Can I change user name? what is the password for sshd_server? Is it pwd ? 4. I logged off and logged on with another user name different with sshd_server Start cygwin bash shell and run ssh-user-config. Ssh-user-config -d -p word 5. then I tried to ssh myself using ssh localhost the error message appeared and it said that connection is refused. 5. how to open port 22 in winXP firewall The instruction is vague and unclear. I thought it causes a big problem for beginner like me. Hope you can help me out. I really need some helps. Thanks in advance!

I am not like you (I am beginner) or a experienced it depends, if you want the truth I'll tell you. I understand you. But you are never going to believe me.
