Every time before when I tried to connect when running sshd -d from a command line and tried to use password authentication, I get: erdelym@localhost's password: debug: authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug: next auth method to try is password Permission denied, please try again. erdelym@localhost's password: And, I didn't experience the problems when I ran SSHD under it's own service. Only when running with inetd. So running it from the command prompt isn't helping (it's, in essense, the same thing). Is there a way to get debug output from sshd -i running under inetd? -ME ----- Original Message ----- From: "Corinna Vinschen" To: Sent: Friday, December 08, 2000 9:24 AM Subject: Re: SSH and Cygwin 1.1.6 On Friday 08 December 2000 15:06, Erdely, Michael wrote: > I'm trying that now.

Just start sshd on the command line and that's it! > Or is my thought process wrong here? I fear, yes. Did you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-2.3.0p1.README? Did you have a look into the ssh man pages? To be allowed to change the user context isn't bound to `system' but to the user rights which are attached to users/groups in the NT user manager resp. W2K's Security Policy MMC-Snap in. On the other hand, starting sshd under your own account and then using RSA/DSA authentication is way more comfortable ;-) Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. mailto:vinschen@redhat.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
