Andrew,
I have a home directory with a space in it. The space appears in the
directory name as well as in the entry in passwd. There is no problem
supporting that in Cygwin. I had to create my home directories manually so
you might want to try doing the same thing.

Andrew,
You are reading too much into the README. The point of the note is that the
account that runs ssh must be capable of switching user accounts without a
password. This requires the Windows permissions of

Derek,
I did not have a file permissions problem relating to chmod. The chmod
command has always worked fine for me. The problem I had related to file
permissions in the CVS repository. I have not upgraded to cygwin 1.5.5,
however. Have you tried using the getfacl and setfacl commands? Does
Max,
What problems is ntsec causing? I am a relatively new user and I have not
had any problems with it. In fact it is allowing me to host a more secure
ssh server installation. I have been following the list for a couple of
months and I have not seen many problems relating to ntsec. Most of
Johan,
Try using the mkgroup and mkpassword utilities described in
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html.

Myk,
I assume you are using Openssh? If you installed Openssh as a Windows
service then SYSTEM is the owner of the files, otherwise the owner is
whatever user did the installation. This is, of course, assuming that you
used the ssh-host-config script in /bin. However, I have installed it both

Did you remember to set the CVS_RSH environment variable to ssh? I think

You must have used the ssh-host-config script and chosen to install sshd as
a Windows service. This causes SYSTEM to be the owner of the files since
SYSTEM is typically the user that runs Windows services. You can look at

It appears that the public key authentication is failing. I am assuming
you are using SSH protocol version 2 since you do not have a key in
/home/jhood/.ssh/identity. Do you have both dsa and rsa keys in
/home/jhood/.ssh/id_rsa and /home/jhood/.ssh/id_dsa?
It would be helpful if you

I'm not sure if this helps you but I am running Cygwin 1.3.22 with openssh
3.6.1p1-2 (which is the latest openssh version I believe) and I am not
having any problems. My machine is running Windows XP Professional. You
might try upgrading both Cygwin and openssh if that is feasible.
John,
I am using Cygwin and sshd with public key authentication on a Windows XP
Professional machine and I am seeing the same ACL behavior that you are. I
have set the CYGWIN environment variable to ntsec nontea nontsec ntea

This is coming from a different angle, but have you thought of tightening
security using the SSH server instead? I think you are considering opening
up an interactive session using SSH in order to execute arbitrary commands
on the remote system. However, you can configure ssh on a

Hi Mark,
OK, I'll take your word for it. I had a quick look at the User's Guide
for the sections discussing
Windows XP
Professional server. I think that the permission problem I am experiencing
in the cvs repository is some kind of bug in the ntsec patch.

Larry,
I am referring to the ntsec setting for the CYGWIN environment variable. It
is described as the ntsec patch in the user document so I thought that was
the name people were familiar with.
Thanks,
Mark
