Re: sshd: solution to the SID change problem ?

Hello,

Since I do not want to update '/etc/passwd' each time the SID changes (sysprep deployment for example), I wanted to know if I can modify my /etc/passwd like this:

Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:544:544:U-Administrator,S-1-5-32-544:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash

Or assign any other well know SID to the user ? S-1-5-18 ?

Sshd seems to work well, but does it have any side effects on cygwin and windows?


You can hurt your /etc/passwd as you like as long as it works.  It
won't affect native Windows apps usually, unless you make some bad

So having the same SID for the user and unix group won't make cygwin (and windows) go crazy ?


Cheers,
