This last statement drove me crazy until I figured that one out.
The problem with this - and the cygwin implementation - is
that:
        If you change the /etc/passwd file, you'll have to reboot (!)
        to get the changes reflected or you know somehow or figured it
        out that there is still an sshd running and you have to kill it.
        (Taskmanager, sshd -> End Task).
The implementation of getpwent, etc. in cygwin is - according to
the 1.1.2 source - that /etc/passwd is just read once. Which is fine,
but for testing this special case - you know the CRLF vs. LF thing in
/etc/passwd) this is not very helpful.

Of course, you can start a new "sshd service" without problems or errors
reported,
but the old one is still running and either there is a sort-of random
which one gets
used or - in my case - the old one is used.

Yes, thanks.

The question is: How do I get the pid of the still running old sshd ?
The PID is written in the "PidFile" given in the sshd_config.
However, the problem in 2.1.0p3 is, again, the "CRLF" at the
end of this file. So, I can't use it, at all to kill the sshd
via
	kill -9 `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
Neither "echo" nor "cat" work because of the CRLF.
Is that fixed in 2.1.1p4 ?

Norbert.
