Hi everyone,

I'll do my best to be as clear as possible with my setup.

I have installed Cygwin on my Win2k machine successfully. My goal is to 
setup sshd so that I may connect to work from home in a secure fashion. I 
have installed sshd and ran ssh-host-config with no problem. I try to run 
ssh-user-config but I get the following message:
	emoreau AT CICHLID ~
$ ssh-user-config
/home/emoreau
/home/emoreau is set in /etc/passwd as your home directory
but it is not a valid directory. Cannot create user identity files.

In my /etc/passwd I have the following:
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
admin:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:Administrator,U-CICHLID\admin,S-1-5-21-139006
7357-1677128483-1957994488-500:/home/admin:/bin/bash
emoreau:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1002:513:U-CICHLID\emoreau,S-1-5-21-1390067357-1677

128483-1957994488-1002:/home/emoreau:/bin/bash

I log in to the network with the user name "emoreau", but there is no UID 
assigned? I ran mkpasswd -l > /ect/passwd with no results. I know that I 
have two emoreau's. I'm going to delete the last one.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Erik
