But I can only successfully login using keys as the cyg_server user itself. Using keys for any user logs me in successfully, but I get the below error and most things don't work 4 [main] -bash 1368 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessW failed, errno 13 -bash: fork: Permission denied If I change the ssh daemon to run as a different domain user, with the required privliges set in the local security policy - I get the same result. ie. the daemon user can log in passwordless with keys, but all other users generate the same error - yet password logons always work. Please help! I've been trying for a few days and have not been able to make any progress - I've been reading the faq's/mailing lists but I couldn't find the same issue.
