Hi all,

I'm struggling with a Cygwin / SSH connection issue, and I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. I'm fairly new to both Cygwin and SSH, so I may well be missing something obvious. I've installed Cygwin and configured SSH (using a domain cyg_server account), and I am able to connect. If I connect using the cyg_server account, everything works as expected:

$ ssh -l cyg_server MAMMDMDB01 'date'
cyg_server AT mammdmdb01's password:
Thu Aug  9 13:45:41 EDT 2012

If however I attempt another domain account, the connection goes through, but I get the above error:

$ ssh -l oinstall MAMMDMDB01 'date'
oinstall AT mammdmdb01's password:
      0 [main] sshd 4564 child_info_spawn::worker: CreateWindowStation failed, Win32 error 5
Thu Aug  9 13:49:29 EDT 2012

Both accounts have the same windows permissions:

C:\cygwin\bin>editrights.exe -l -u oinstall
SeTcbPrivilege
SeCreateTokenPrivilege
SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
SeServiceLogonRight
SeBatchLogonRight

C:\cygwin\bin>editrights.exe -l -u cyg_server
SeTcbPrivilege
SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
SeCreateTokenPrivilege
SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
SeServiceLogonRight
SeBatchLogonRight

I added both to the /etc/passwd file using /bin/mkpasswd, both accounts have /home/ directories.

Advice? Thoughts?

Thanks!

stephan
