I too have a winXP system running ssh under cygwin. My permissions are not owned by SYSTEM:SYSTEM under my home directory, they are owned by me. Glad to see you got it working, but I think it's a work around. I would suggest reinstalling and check out this website for install directions. http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.html I have followed these many times without any problems. Todd C.

Is there some setting somewhere (maybe in sshd_config or something) that makes this a requirement, or is it just the way that cygwin sshd works...?
