If I set my shell to "/bin/id -a" in /etc/passwd, I'm never able to log 
in successfully (I'm sure I typed my password correctly):

C:\cygwin\etc>ssh localhost
kasper AT localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
kasper AT localhost's password:

If I set my shell to "/bin/id", I see this:

C:\cygwin\etc>ssh localhost
kasper AT localhost's password:
Last login: Tue Nov 14 12:09:47 2006 from 127.0.0.1
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
/bin/id: Permission denied
Connection to localhost closed.

I get "Permission denied" for /bin/sh as well, so it appears that I 
can't execute anything in the /bin directory when I try to connect with ssh.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. 
  I've been using a Win2K system until recently, and I'm finding the 
whole issue of permissions in WinXP problematic.

Any other thoughts?
