I've got a very similar issue on a 32-bit win 2003 32-bit machine. Cygwin 1.5 works fine. I was hoping to deploy 1.7 for some ssh integration with my unix hosts, rather than install 1.5 which is now considered a "legacy" package.
Fresh install of Cygwin 1.7 Only additional packages installed are ssh, vim and their dependencies. Using privilege separation - Domain user that is a local administrator AND has the local administrator as primary group in /etc/passwd, - login with key authentication works fine. - Domain user that is a local administrator WITHOUT the local administrator as primary group in /etc/passwd, - cannot login with key authentication. - Local user regardless of primary group in /etc/passwd or local group setting - login with key authentication works fine - Local user with key authentication and not a member of local administrators fails when an argument is passed on the command line: linux$ ssh u...@host1-w2k3 pwd 20 [main] sshd 244 D:\cygwin-1.7\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** fatal error - could not load user32, Win32 error 1114 -- -Greg -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
