Friends,
I am trying to install SSH on a Windows 2003 server since last 3 days
and still no luck.
I have tried literally everything and searched 100s of google pages
but I am getting this error.I would greatly appreciate if someone can
help me resolve this.
Here's the trace from the server end:
E:\Program Files\OpenSSH\usr\sbin>sshd -d
Bad idea unless this shell is owned by 'sshd_server'. So if you don't know
what you're doing, you may be better off wiping your installation directory
and starting over.

After researching,people mentioned that it looks like a permission
issue with either one of the following:
E:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/OpenSSH
E:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/OpenSSH/.ssh
E:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/OpenSSH.ssh/authorized_keys
And they say to set 700 or some permissions to them,but how can i do
that in Windows ???
chmod 700 .ssh
chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
You should do this on every file under .ssh that's not a .pub file.
.pub files should be 644.
I have given full control to all these files to the "Administrator"
and the "System" account.
My /etc/passwd and /etc/group files look proper and also have full
control by "Administrator" and "System" accounts.I have also changed
the Administrator home to point to /home/Administrator/OpenSSH
I have generated my private/public key on the client end(windows box)
using puttygen and copied my public key into the E:/Documents and
Settings/Administrator/OpenSSH/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
So you have '/home' mounting 'E:/Documents and Settings'? Otherwise you're
comparing apples and oranges here.
