I'm having trouble setting up correct user and group permissions for 
logging on to a computer using ssh. I have installed sshd and cygrunsrv, 
and I believe that the server itself is running properly. I start it 
with "cygrunsrv -S sshd". However, when trying to logon from a remote 
(Linux) computer, I get:

~ ssh -l remote-user xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
remote-user AT xxx DOT xxx DOT xxx DOT xxx's password:
Last login: Tue Nov  2 10:35:21 2004 from yyy
setgid: Invalid argument
Connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx closed.

I use Windows XP on the host machine, and I have created a new user 
account, with a password, for this purpose. I'm guessing that the error 
lies somewhere in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
The line corresponding to the remote user in /etc/passwd looks like this:
remote-user:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1008:513:remote-user,U-LATERALUS\remote-user,S-1-5-21-1547161642-343818398-725345543-1008:/home/martin:/bin/bash
(I hope there's no risk posting the contents of the passwd file here...)

My /etc/group looks like this:
root:S-1-5-32-544:0:
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:

What can I do?
