On XP32, my CYGWIN sshd service properties page shows "Local System
account" in the "Log on" tab. Is this no a SYSTEM session?
Again, I did answer "yes" to the "privilege separation" query.

Sorry, 2K3?

Right.

I guess I really need to know what 2K3 is. From googling I guess it
might be Win2000Sp3? I am using XP pro with the latest service packs.

Ooooh, that may explain the difference.

Bummer.
I don't know if it's relevant, but when I ssh into my XP64 machine and
do "GPResult", I get a normal-looking dump (enclosed). When I try
that on the XP32 machine I get
INFO: The user "WORKGROUP\HYDRA-XP$" does not have RSOP data.
HYDRA-XP is the name of the machine.
