I am running sshd per instructions from /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-3.6.1p1-2.README.
I choose no privilege speration at setup time
I have also set the following values in sshd_config:

    PasswordAuthentication yes
    RhostsAuthentication no
    RhostsRSAAuthentication no
    RSAAuthentication no

When I login via ssh I don't get asked for a password (I think
this is ok because I ran ssh-user-config).  My problem is
that I get kicked out immediately after logging in.  I used to be
able to login fine (even with the setgid failure as below); but now
I can't.  Something changed (don't ask me I've tried a lot of
different iterations).

How do I diagnose this problem further?
/var/log/sshd.log has not been modified for a long time
Is a solution apparent from the given info?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is your /etc/group file out of sync? Does

$ mkgroup -l (or -d for domains) >/etc/group

Fix it?


Connection to localhost closed.


$ mkgroup -d >> /etc/group
solves the problem. I had already tried "mkgroup -l > /etc/group" per instructions from another posting, but I really needed the domain group.


Thank you,
Jonathan
