Re: SSHd configuration problems (System error 1376)

Now, the reason for that is that there is no "root" group
in Windows. Instead it's called "Administrators".

The group is obtained in line 2827 of /usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:

admingroup=$(/usr/bin/mkgroup -l | /usr/bin/awk -F: '{if ( $2 == "S-1-5-32-544" ) print $1;}')

On my system this yields "Administrators". Apparently it yields "root" on your system. Any idea why?
