sshd problem on Windows 2003


I know there have been postings regarding the issues with sshd on Windows 2003 64-bit servers, but I cannot locate a definitive explanation about this issue.

I have been running cygwin & sshd on the server, using the default sshd_config scripts and running the service as the sshd_server user with the appropriate permissions. The services have been working, but now they are not. Perhaps a Win2K3 update changed some permissions on the OS, but nothing else obvious was changed on this server.

Now the remote ssh connections work fine if the /var/empty directory is owned by administrator & the service is started from the command line as "/usr/sbin/sshd -D". But when /var/empty is owned by sshd_server and the service is started via the admin/service console, no remote logins are possible. The application event log displays (among other things) "Fatal: seteuid: 500 Permission denied."

What is recommended to correct this problem?

Thanks.
