Forgot to add that you need to do this after making those changes:
Clean up the mess ssh-host-config previously created:
cygrunsrv --stop sshd
cygrunsrv --remove sshd
net user sshd /delete
net user cyg_server /delete
edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group to remove cyg_server and sshd
rm -rf /etc/ssh*
I had the same issue. It seems to be related to what /usr/bin/getent returns
for the group name so that you end up trying to add to the group root
rather than Administrators. I had to hack
/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh in a couple of places
to finally make it work for me:
cd /usr/share/csih
Edit the cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh and change these two lines
starting at line 2969:
The use of the -w argument in getent and parsing the modified output fixed
the root vs Administrators issue. There was still one more issue because
the new users were not in the
Bruce said he could not see my edits. I'm posting from nabble and used the
raw tags, so maybe that did not go through. Here they are again:
$ diff -c cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh.orig
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh
*** cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh.orig 2014-12-27
I had the same issue on Windows 2003 32-bit. Without the -w option, the
only name returned is root, not Administrators:
