Subject:	sshd propogate all users
Message-ID:	<3E242E3C.20251.C126F2B@localhost>

this addresses these errors :
Failed password for illegal user 
authentication refused
Illegal User Error Attempting to Authenticate in sshd

I followed  instructions for setting sshd as a win2k service and it 
worked great.

what did cause me a day of hardship was the fact that i did not do 
mkpasswd -l (or d for domain) >> /etc/passwd to propogate all my 
users.

i didn't find this in all my searches for cygwin ssh help and only 
found this refferenced in an email dealing w/ a different sshd 
problem.

i just wanted to mail it to you so in case it wasn't already posted 
in a million places you could post this tip.
