It's taken me a while to get to this, but changing the above  
mentioned permissions did the trick.  I can now log on and access  
network shares!  This will make the build engineers' lives a lot  
easier.  Thank you for a great product and for all the help on this  
list!

Well, I spoke a little too soon.  I got this working on two systems,  
but can not get it to work on a third.  The ssh daemon appears to  
start (neither cygrunsrv -S nor starting it from the Services Panel  
gives an error), but it really does not.  The Event Viewer  
Application log shows the following:

   The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be  
found. The local
   computer may not have the necessary registry information or  
message DLL files to
   display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use  
the /AUXSOURCE=
   flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for  
details. The following
   information is part of the event: sshd: PID 2920: service `sshd'  
failed: signal 11
   raised.

Any ideas what could be raising signal 11 (SIGSEGV) and how I would  
go about debugging this?  ssh access was working to this machine  
before I changed the file system permissions and the account  
information for the sshd service.

Alfred
