- Subject: OpenSSH for Non Administrators
My apologies if this has asked before. I researched as much as I could
on my own. I hope a kind soul can direct me to a useful resource.
I installed Cygwin on a Windows 2003 Server with OpenSSH 4.2p1-1.
After installing I ran ssh-host-config and chose privilege separation.
"privilege separation" -> Yes
"create local user sshd_server" -> Yes
"install sshd as a service" -> Yes
CYGWIN=" -> ntsec
I synced the users and passwords with:
mkpasswd --local > /etc/passwd
mkgroup --local > /etc/group
Now the weird thing is that I am able to log in (ssh in). I'm part of
the administrator group. I set up another user as a "normal" user and
they are not able to authenticate and get in. If I promote this user to
be part of the administrator group he/she is able to get in.
I read this thread and noticed a poster stated if one read the readme
in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin that this should cover all I need to know. I
did read it and I am not seeing where I made the mistake. Can anyone
assist me on where I am making a mistake?
