You should still be able to login as yourself and gain access to
your network shares.
I am able to login as myself without passwordless login and get access to my
network shares. However, I am not able to login as myself using
PASSWORDLESS login via public keys and have access to the network shares. I
need to execute ssh login in a batch script so I need passwordless login to
work and I need to have access to the network shares when I login. Is
there some other way to get access to network shares via passwordless login
without changing the user who runs the sshd service and opening the security
hole?
Thanks for your input,
Terry

Hi,
I was able to resolve this issue by switching the user who runs the sshd
service. If anyone else is having this problem you can find detailed
documentation on how to do get around this issue this at
http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~kscully/CygwinSSHD_W2K3.html.
Some words of caution here:
The procedure outlined with the domain user as the user the service will
run as gives the domain user advanced privileges which encompass those
of SYSTEM (on <W2K3 machines) and sshd_server. This opens a wider
security hole than just using SYSTEM (on <W2K3 machine) or sshd_server
as the service user.
If you don't need the ability to let others login via 'ssh' to the system
in question, you are better off to not alter your user's permissions at
all. You should still be able to login as yourself and gain access to
your network shares. By doing this, you won't be opening up the security
hole but others trying to log in will run in your user context in your
case.
See <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.shares> for more
details.
