I can only make a local non-admin user.  If I use that, it is just
returning "Permission denied" after I enter the password.  I guess I'll
have to fiddle with it a little more to see if I can figure out why that
is.  But that seems tangential to the issue reported.

If I try using the cyg_server account (yuck, I feel filthy! ;-) ), I get
kicked out the same way as reported minus the message about chown.  That's
as close as I've gotten and, of course, it's exactly opposite what was
reported.

OK, so this sounds similar to what I'm seeing with my domain account and
with a local cyg_server running sshd.  I'm _shocked_.

Indeed.  Maybe the OP has an actual file for the pseudo /dev/pty1 file?  If
so, maybe the permissions on the file are getting in the way??
