Oh, and sshd's entry is etc/passwd:
sshd:unused:1008:513:sshd
privsep,U-primaryserver\sshd,S-1-5-21-3985440655-1503118989-471546470-1008:/cygdrive/k/Cygwin/var/empty:/bin/bash
The service control manager says sshd is the user and the password is
the one I gave it. There error in sshd.log is:
/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
... about 12 more lines like this ...
/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
The above represents the many attempts to give /var/empy the proper
permissions. Believe me, I've linux for years and I'm a software
engineer. If this has me stumped, then I need to turn in my keys and
quit the computer world.
