Trying to configure ssh. Followed guides found on the internet (pretty much all the same).
The problem comes when the script tries to create the user: *** Query: Create new privileged user account 'HOST\cyg_server' (Cygwin name 'host+cyg_server')? (yes/no) yes *** Info: Please enter a password for new user host+cyg_server. Please be sure *** Info: that this password matches the password rules given on your system. *** Info: Entering no password will exit the configuration. *** Query: Please enter the password: *** Query: Reenter: *** Info: User 'host+cyg_server' has been created with password 'password'. *** Info: If you change the password, please remember also to change the *** Info: password for the installed services which use (or will soon use) *** Info: the 'host+cyg_server' account. passwd: unknown user host+cyg_server *** Warning: Setting password expiry for user 'host+cyg_server' failed! *** Warning: Please check that password never expires or set it ot your needs. No user or group 'host+cyg_server known. *** Warning: Assigning the appropriate privileges to user 'host+cyg_server' failed! *** ERROR: There was a serious problem creating a privileged user. *** Query: Do you want ot proceed anyway? (yes/no) If I say no, then of course, the script stops. If I say yes: *** Warning: Expected privileged user 'host+cyg_server' does not exist. *** Warning: Defaulting to 'SYSTEM' *** Info: The sshd service has been installed under the LocalSystem *** Info: account (also known as SYSTEM).
