When I debug the sshd, I see the error below in the Event Viewer (which is a very inconvient way to view log files -- is there any way to get the sshd service to put out to a file?) My guess is that there is some file permissions problem, but even with LogLevel DEBUG3, I cannot get sshd to tell me what file lacks the proper permissions. When I stop the service and run "sshd -d" from a bash shell (I am the Administrator and only user of this machine; in /etc/passwd I have userid 1006), I can ssh in to the machine normally. Any advice will be appreciated. openssh-3.4p1-4 Windows XP Home I am *not* using privilege separation, but mostly default configuration of sshd otherwise (just protocol 2, suppress motd, etc.) The same version of openssh with the same sshd_config file works OK on a different Win2k machine I have and use in a similar way. The file permissions on particular files or directories may be different of course.
