RE: Win2003 problems exchanging keys, but not with password cygwin/openssh


Corrina,

I was looking through that message you suggested reading and Im not sure
if you see the same thing Im seeing.


I did get another response from another user group which will remain
nameless (don't want to upset Larry :) ), which this was his response:

Hi,

I had the same problem and didn't get any answer from this list yet
(guess we aren't to many of us using 2003 yet:-). But after three full
days of trial and error I got it working by:

 - starting the sshd service under another user than the "Local System
account" with
   password (I use an acount with Administrator privileges but don't
know if it is needed).

 - chown the following files to that user:
     chown <user> /etc/ssh_host*
     chown <user> /var/empty
     chown <user> /var/log/sshd.log

I think that was all, hope it helps!
