Re: ssh impersonation

Hello,
I've installed cygwin-1.25-15 on Server 2008 and seem to be
seeing issues related to sshd's impersonation of a public key
authenticated user. Google turned up a few threads on this subject:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-07/msg00577.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-01/msg00651.html
In addition to the Visual Studio 2008 linker problem, I also run into
problems accessing WMI from a ssh session - things like tasklist simply
hang and the event log DCOM messages looks like an authentication issue.
As suggested in one of the threads, running sshd as the desired logon
user fixes things, but that makes it difficult for multiple users to
share a "build" box.
It's been a while since these threads were posted; has anyone come up
with any workarounds besides using password authentication or use the
same sshd account for user logon and sshd service? Larry mentioned
some changes in Cygwin 1.7 - any chance it's a small enough change that
I can put it into sshd until Cygwin 1.7 is released?
The changes are in the cygwin 1.7 package rather than the ssh package.
That means you'll need 1.7 if you want to see if that solves your
problem (it should). If you're willing to risk your current Cygwin
installation, you can install the 1.7 version from here:
<cygwin.com/setup-1.7.exe>
This is not released software. It is not beta software. It's just
available for people to try and test with. It's up to you whether or
not to experiment with it.
