Hello, I hear you and I completely agree with you. I am looking for a very short term solution right now and will soon upgrade to the latest version. BTW, setting cygwin environment variable to "ntnosec" also solves the issue (even if I keep StrictModes to Yes) Thanks. -Prasad --- Corinna Vinsc

Hello, Thank you very much for all your help. I really appreciate that. I found a workaround, by setting the StrictModes setting in \etc\sshd_config to "No". As you said earlier, new cygwin is more strict in terms of permissions and ownership. So now, I have openssh 2.5.2p2 and cygwin 1.3.22 on

Hello, I am sorry, if I have lead to further confusions. Let me explain everything all over again 1. I am using openssh 2.5.2p2 and cygwin 1.3.1 using passwordless authentication with sshd running in SYSTEM context. I have been using this combination for years on Windows 2000 and it works fine.

Hello, Thanks for your help. I am sorry to bug you again. So, does this mean, that, I can not run sshd with passwordless authentication in SYSTEM context even if I switch to the latest version of openssh? Further, the question is, if I use old version of cygwin, it is not giving me the permiss

Hello, Yes, sshd is running as service under SYSTEM account. Are there any issues in doing this with the latest cygwin? I know, that, Cygwin 1.3.22 comes with OpenSSH 3.6.1p2. However, due to other reasons, I don't want to upgrade to new openSSH as far as possible. Thanks. -Prasad --- Corinna V

Hello, Its not a typo. I am indeed using cygwin 1.3.1. As I mentioned in my original mail, upgrading to latest version 1.3.22 does solve the heap problem. However, it creates problems for openssh server that I am running on the same box. Sorry for sending it to cygwin-apps. I will keep it in mind
