Igor, thak a lot ...

A have new problem. :(
I try to use sshd and whe run "ssh localhost" whit rsa authentication the
output of the command is:

$ ssh localhost
Last login: Thu Apr  3 15:20:24 2003 from s1.rmserra.com.ar
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
Connection to localhost closed.

and eventlog report

sshd : PID 3512 : fatal: setuid 1003: Permission denied.

The sshd is running within SYSTEM account and started by init.

My passwd file entry is:
rmserra:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:544:Rodrigo
Serra,U-S1\rmserra,S-1-5-21-895620764-424314960-1421636116-1003:/home/rmserr
a:/bin/bash

and group 544 is Administrators
/etc/group entry is:
Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544:

When i try ssh -l administrator localhost the command asks password and work
fine.

Thank

Rodrigo,

There is no working implementation of 'su' under Cygwin.  Use sshd and
"ssh -l name localhost" to switch user contexts.
