Subject: openSSH 'privilege separation feature

Dear Cygwinners!

I've just upgraded to the latest OpenSSH cygwin package, viz., 3.3p1-1
and it seems the new 'privilege separation' feature is causing problems.

The first problem was that after upgrading, the sshd service would not
start. /var/log/sshd.log indicated the username sshd did not exist so
'privilelge separation' did not work.

I then followed some instructiosn on the Openssh WEB pages which said I
had to create a user called sshd and also a group sshd and also create a
directory /var/empty which I chown'd to SYSTEM.SYSTEM. The sshd service
would then start without error.

However, when trying to ssh to my PC, debug output from sshd shows the
following:

----------- sshd output starts here -------------------

C:\cygwin\usr\sbin>
-------------- sshd output ends here ------------------

It looks to me like the line starting mm_send_fd is where the problem
lies, but I don't know what it means.

Can anyone help?

Regards,
Tony.
