I set up SRVANY to run a command prompt instead of running sshd, so that I could run it manually and see what was going on. I typed 'whoami' in the prompt - I'm running as system. The ssh_host*_key files are owned by system.system, they're all 0600. I read the stuff in the openssh readme file like you said in your other post, and realized I was running as administrator, and then set up srvany to start the command prompt. So I'm still stuck with it not being able to log in. Any other suggestions, anyone?? Thanks for your help!!! -David Ziegler -dziegler AT mit DOT edu ------------------------- David, Most likely, the problem is that you are trying to run sshd as the local user and that user does not have the appropriate user rights to "be a server" as outlined in /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh*.README. Probably the easiest thing for you to do is to set up sshd to run as a service with srvany or Firedaemon as System. Who is the owner of the /etc/ssh_host*_key files? What are their permissions (should be 600 or -rw-------). -ME -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner AT sources DOT redhat DOT com [mailto:cygwin-owner AT sources DOT redhat DOT com] On Behalf Of David Ziegler Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2001 8:30 PM To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: "Invalid user" when logging into SSH I'm trying to get SSH to work in Win2K with the latest cygwin distribution. I installed into c:\progra~1\cygwin. I set up SSH with password authentication, and I can't get it to work. When I run sshd -d, I get an "invalid user" message. If anyone can help with this, I'd *really* appreciate it! Thanks. I've included my ssh and sshd output, and the contents of my sshd_config and passwd. sshd: ----------------------------- C:\PROGRA~1\cygwin>c:\progra~1\cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd -d -d -f c:\progra~1\cygwin\ etc\sshd_config debug1: Seeding random number generator debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_2.5.2p2 debug1: load_private_key_autodetect: type 0 RSA1 debug1: read SSH2 private key done: name rsa w/o comment success 1 debug1: load_private_key_autodetect: type 1 RSA debug1: read SSH2 private key done: name dsa w/o comment success 1 debug1: load_private_key_autodetect: type 2 DSA debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0.
