Stop spreading misinformation. Cygwin SSHD has had the support for fully logging in as any user since 1.7, as you have already been told and completely ignored. Go and read the manual. The link was in the previous email I sent in this thread. freesshd works exactly as Cygwin *used* to before it got subauth support: when you log in with a key, rather than a password, you just end up as an admin user. http://www.freesshd.com/index.php?ctt=forum&action=view&topic=1236283239 This post here: http://www.freesshd.com/index.php?ctt=forum&action=view&topic=1239024431 also makes it clear that freesshd has the same limitations as cygwin-1.5 sshd: if you log in by pubkey you have to run the service under the account you want to log in as, it can't setuid unless you log in with a password. Therefore if freesshd is working for your friend, cygwin sshd would _also_ work *even without subauth*, if you installed it to run the service under the same (administrative?) account that freesshd is using. Take-home message: *Cygwin SSHD works fine - you've just configured it wrong.* cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
