MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hallo, I installed sshd as 'cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-D -d"' - which worked. The server starts (cygrunsrv -S sshd) properly. Then I tried to connect: ssh localhost -l "Uwe Mayer" Where "Uwe Mayer" is my regular W2k login. The following is what was printed to the /var/log/sshd.log: Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 [..snip..] debug1: attempt 0 failures 0 input_userauth_request: illegal user Uwe Mayer Failed none for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method publickey debug1: attempt 1 failures 1 Failed publickey for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method keyboard-interactive debug1: attempt 2 failures 2 debug1: keyboard-interactive devs debug1: auth2_challenge: user=Uwe Mayer devs= debug1: kbdint_alloc: devices '' Failed keyboard-interactive for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 3 failures 3 Failed password for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 4 failures 4 Failed password for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 5 failures 5 Failed password for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 Connection closed by 127.0.0.1 debug1: Calling cleanup 0x41c9c0(0x0) debug1: Calling cleanup 0x41c9c0(0x0) ... what does "illegal user" mean? Doesn't it like the space in my login name? Is there any way arround it? My guess is that even supplying an alternative to the /etc/passwd file (i.e. U-uwe) won't permit me to login as "ssh localhost -l uwe" or? Can somebody please help me here?
