Re: SSH and Cygwin 1.1.6

["Erdely, Michael" <mike at erdelynet dot com>]

I'm trying that now.  But it's my understanding that if you run sshd as
someone other than "system", you can't use password authentication.  Is that
incorrect?

To get around that, I'm trying to set up an "sshd2" that uses RSA
Authentication so that I can run sshd -d from a prompt.

Or is my thought process wrong here?
