My apologies if this has asked before.  I researched as much as I could
on my own. I hope a kind soul can direct me to a useful resource.

 I installed Cygwin on a Windows 2003 Server with OpenSSH 4.2p1-1.
After installing I ran ssh-host-config and chose privilege separation. 

"privilege separation" -> Yes
"create local user sshd_server" -> Yes
"install sshd as a service" -> Yes
CYGWIN="  -> ntsec

 I synced the users and passwords with:

mkpasswd   --local   >   /etc/passwd
mkgroup   --local    >   /etc/group

 Now the weird thing is that I am able to log in (ssh in).  I'm part of
the administrator group.  I set up another user as a "normal" user and
they are not able to authenticate and get in.  If I promote this user to
be part of the administrator group he/she is able to get in.

 I read this thread and noticed a poster stated if one read the readme
in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin that this should cover all I need to know.  I
did read it and I am not seeing where I made the mistake.  Can anyone
assist me on where I am making a mistake?
