There's a big difference: I assume you have started sshd from LocalSystem account as service, isn't it? As I mentioned in the README (did you read the README?) you can either logon to any user account using password authentication or you can start sshd under your own user account and then logon using RSA authentication. It's impossible to change the user if no password is given! > hendl@lkvbb1:~ > telnet hendl0 > [...] > alias: not found > alias: not found > \u@\h: \w > You are expecting bash but it looks as if your /etc/passwd entry contains /bin/sh as shell. /bin/sh under Cygwin is a stripped (but fast) version of ash with almost no features but plain bourne shell ones. To get a bash as login shell you'll have to change your /etc/passwd entry accordingly.
