Chris-
What user is running sshd as a service? If you
are using SYSTEM (i.e. you haven't specified another
user to run the service) you are hindered in
getting anything to work.
Case in point- I am running inetd/sshd at my workplace
and all the domain users in my /etc/passwd (created via
mkpasswd -d) have //network/share as their home directory.
It took me forever to figure out that the SYSTEM user account
didn't have the ability to access ANY network share. When
I run inetd/sshd as a normal domain user, things work okay.
AFAIK, you should run the sshd service as admin or a domain user.
If you need any more suggestions about running these type
of services, let me know off list and I can forward some emails
that I got (and saved) that were very helpful in getting
inetd to work for me.
Also, have you checked out http://tech.erdelynet.com?
It is a good site on using ssh with cygwin, and has its
own ssh mailing list.
HTH,
Peter
