Oh, and sshd's entry is etc/passwd: sshd:unused:1008:513:sshd privsep,U-primaryserver\sshd,S-1-5-21-3985440655-1503118989-471546470-1008:/cygdrive/k/Cygwin/var/empty:/bin/bash The service control manager says sshd is the user and the password is the one I gave it. There error in sshd.log is:
/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. ... about 12 more lines like this ... /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. The above represents the many attempts to give /var/empy the proper permissions. Believe me, I've linux for years and I'm a software engineer. If this has me stumped, then I need to turn in my keys and quit the computer world. -- 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
