Re: OpenSSH on Windows 2003 server

Hello,

Well, I did not succeed with cygwin: basically because of a lack of
information/understanding of the things to do (for example, give rights
to users etc is like chinese for me).

I instead used the last version of Michael Johnson's installer
(http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/).

_AFTER_ that, I created the user I wanted to log to my windows server
with the right to log remotely or something like that). This may be
something I should try to change, according to Stephen Herr: i.e.
creating my accounts _BEFORE_ installing.

Configuration of the stuff is (from memory) something like that :
- open a shell
- cd to the install directory of openssh
- cd to the bin subdirectory
- mkgroup -l > ../etc/group
- mkgroup -d >> ../etc/group
- mkpasswd -l > ../etc/passwd
- mkpasswd -d >> ../etc/passwd
- edit those files to suppress duplicates etc.
- alternatively, use the -u switch to select which user you want to add
to your group and passwd files

Then, after the service is run, I can log from another computer with
password authentification.

But as I said, as soon as I try to log on with key authentification, the
authentification succeeds, but the connection is immediatly shut down.

I hope this helps.

P.S. I wrote this from memory. Should print/copy the procedure I wrote
during my tests.
