Re: openssh problems - pointers to documentation?



Looks, as if you try to change the user while sshd runs under an
account which doen't have this right. Note that Admins don't
have that right by default!

Read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-2.2.0p1.README. You got it as part
of the standard installation.
