Hi Emerio,

It's good to hear from someone at Fullerton!  I don't know if Jim O'Dell is 
still around there somewhere, but he's actually a committer on the VCL project 
here at Apache.

Unfortunately, we have a mix of some installation information being out of 
date and some being more accurate.  The page on installing and configuring 
Cygwin has recently been updated and is what I followed to test things out 
below.

For Windows 10 2004, there was a problem with the cygwin-sshd-config.sh script 
related to how it was detecting the name of the sshd service name.  I've 
updated the script.  However, I'm still seeing the same error you were 
referring to when it tries to create VCL folder under the Cygwin root home 
directory:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I'm still looking in to this one.

For CentOS 7.8.2003 (I couldn't find anything about .2004), I was able to 
create and reserve a new image successfully.  Given that it is failing when 
trying to create the user account, make sure the useradd command is installed.  
I'm seeing that is is part of the shadow-utils package.  If useradd is 
installed, can you provide part of the vcld.log file where it is trying to add 
the user and failing?

For Ubuntu 20, see if the information Mike provided in this email helps:

https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/vcl-user/202005.mbox/
%3CCANdMdR0q8t7B19MiHcnZCa7vJsRNwYsMrForC68u-vGFbSYthQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E

I know it's related to Ubuntu 18, but it may work for 20 as well.
