The supported version of Cygwin ran with Windows XP. I am trying to run it under
Windows Vista with UAC turned off. I successfully compiled under Cygwin (1.7.7), set up the keys and can start the server and client. But i cannot authenticate. Any suggestions? This is what I did. ./configure make PROGRAMS="dropbear dbclient dropbearkey dropbearconvert" ./dropbearkey -t rsa -f dropbear_rsa_host_key ./dropbearkey -t dss -f dropbear_dss_host_key mdkir /home/testuser mkpasswd > /etc/passwd --check to make sure the shell exists that was created in /etc/password for user --start server ./dropbear.exe -E -r dropbear_rsa_host_key -d dropbear_dss_host_key open second Cygin and connect with dbclient ./dbclient [email protected] --result from client [3904] Jan 03 13:20:53 bad password attempt for 'testuser' from 192.168.1.4:5411 7 I was under the impression that the mkpasswd linked dropbear users to the Windows account users. The testuser is an Aministrator user. I am using my windows password for that user. Any suggestions please? /Z
