I've successfully used ssh-host-config to set up sshd (privilege separation on, local user sshd created, sshd run as service, "CYGWIN=ntsec tty"; sshd started with "net start sshd"; all done under the administrative account "developer"). I then updated the password and group files using "mkpasswd --local > /etc/passwd" and "mkgroup --local > /etc/group". Windows Firewall has port 22 open for sshd. Problem: I can't ssh in as developer using a password. I've successfully copied over a public key into .ssh/authorized_keys2, and I can login just fine from my expected machines, but I really need to be able to login from unexpected machines (which won't have their public keys in authorized_keys2). Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan -- Daniel T.
