Where to start??
I attempting to setup the sshd within Windows Vista. For this OS
documentation seems scant.
openssh version OpenSSH_4.7p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
At this point I dont care about priviledge separation. I can use it,
or not. I attempted to setup the daemon using ssh-host-config and
answered yes to using privledge separation.
Now Im stuck since I cant undo the process.
Im find the /usr/share/doc/openssh/README.privsep file not to be all
that helpful
Currently Im getting the following:
$ net start sshd
System error 1069 has occurred.
The service did not start due to a logon failure.
With /var/log/sshd.log Im finding:
Privilege separation user sshd does not exist
Here is my setup:
$ ssh-host-config
Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/ssh_config file
Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) yes
Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3.
However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
For more info on privilege separation read /usr/share/doc/openssh/README.privsep
.
Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/sshd_config file
Host configuration finished. Have fun!
$ more /etc/passwd

Its obvious I need to do something more with the sshd user?? What do I do?
