Re: SSH and Cygwin 1.1.6


I did read the read me.  Every time before when I tried to connect when
running sshd -d from a command line and tried to use password
authentication, I get:
    erdelym@localhost's password:
    debug: authentications that can continue: publickey,password
    debug: next auth method to try is password
    Permission denied, please try again.
    erdelym@localhost's password:
And, I didn't experience the problems when I ran SSHD under it's own
service.  Only when running with inetd.  So running it from the command
prompt isn't helping (it's, in essense, the same thing).

Is there a way to get debug output from sshd -i running under inetd?

What do you mean by that??? Just start sshd on the command line
and that's it!

I fear, yes. Did you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-2.3.0p1.README?
Did you have a look into the ssh man pages?

To be allowed to change the user context isn't bound to `system'
but to the user rights which are attached to users/groups in the
NT user manager resp. W2K's Security Policy MMC-Snap in.

On the other hand, starting sshd under your own account and then
using RSA/DSA authentication is way more comfortable ;-)
