Re: SSHD, Cygwin and Windows 2003 : continued with user rights



Thank you for the details, but then, why *some commands* work and not others ?
And more specifically, how can I make *this command* work ?

I think you missed the fact that pubkey authentication does impersonation,
not Windows-style authentication. So Windows apps won't recognize the pubkey
authentication as providing permissions to run restricted programs. You'll
have to use password authentication if you want Windows to recognize the
user you've become via ssh. You can find all sorts of discussion on the difference between pubkey and password authentication for ssh in the email archives if you're interested.

Following Mark J de Jong 's step by step howto (see end of mail for some add-ons), I can now effectively log in with pkey method (that is, no password) using the 'administrator' user name.
'whoami' returns 'administrator', however asking for a command such as IISRESET returns the error 'you are not a local administrator of this machine...', which means the rights management has failed somewhere.
