Subject:	UID problem - ssh with a user with a large uid fails
X-Enigmail-Version:	0.61.0.0
X-Enigmail-Supports:	pgp-inline, pgp-mime

Hi,

I have installed OpenSSh on a Win2k server.
I'm able to ssh with Administrator or user1, but with user2 and user3 I 
get "closed by remote host" immediately after I login.
ssh -N work without problem.

I notice that in the event viewer I get "Cannot find account for uid 
2505." But the uid for that user is 133577

Here are the passwd record for that user
user2:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:133577:10513:Artur 
Pinheiro,U-BEPBC\user2,S-1-5-21-1687214194-3739405474-41422061-123577:/ssh:/ssh/switch 


Notice the diffrence between 133577 and 123577

The main difference between user1 and user2 & user3 is that in user1, 
the user part in the SID is smaller.

user1: S-1-5-21-1687214194-3739405474-41422061-4804
user2: S-1-5-21-1687214194-3739405474-41422061-123577
user3: S-1-5-21-1687214194-3739405474-41422061-242181

Is there any limitation in the user part of the SID?

Thanks
