Re: sshd on win7 x64

Hi!

I've got back and tried to set up sshd again.

Now it tricks me in other way.  It fails on seteuid() when I try to connect 
with a domain user.
"""

I've tried to login with a local user.  It seems it seteuid() works with 
local user.  But then it claims again that chown() on tty fails:

Should I try to run sshd service with a domain user for privilege 
separation?   Currently it is local, one of administrators group.

Both local_user and domain_user are administrators too.  Does it matter?

I also checked all the paths I can guess.  They are accessible by privilege 
separation user and by both local_user and domain_user.

The previous time I was trying only a domain user.


Thank you for your help, Larry!
