I already created the passwd file multiple times, before and after ssh installation. I do not know what all those numbers in it but as far as I can see the users and their default folders listed fine there. I can pretty much see all the defined users including the ssh setup based users. "mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd" was the command I have used multiple times. The weird thing was that the Cygwin+Ssh installation on Win7 was the easiest of all installations I had done before. It worked for couple days and stopped yesterday. Something is funky and I cannot figure it out after spending 10 hours on this. I am sure it is couple minutes fix if you are an expert on this stuff but that is the best i can do on my own. -- 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
