Hi all,
I'm struggling with a Cygwin / SSH connection issue, and I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. I'm fairly new to both Cygwin and SSH, so I may well be missing something obvious. I've installed Cygwin and configured SSH (using a domain cyg_server account), and I am able to connect. If I connect using the cyg_server account, everything works as expected:
$ ssh -l cyg_server MAMMDMDB01 'date'
cyg_server@mammdmdb01's password:
Thu Aug? 9 13:45:41 EDT 2012
If however I attempt another domain account, the connection goes through, but I get the above error:
$ ssh -l oinstall MAMMDMDB01 'date'
oinstall@mammdmdb01's password:
????? 0 [main] sshd 4564 child_info_spawn::worker: CreateWindowStation failed, Win32 error 5
Thu Aug? 9 13:49:29 EDT 2012
Both accounts have the same windows permissions:
C:\cygwin\bin>editrights.exe -l -u oinstall
SeTcbPrivilege
SeCreateTokenPrivilege
SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
SeServiceLogonRight
SeBatchLogonRight
C:\cygwin\bin>editrights.exe -l -u cyg_server
SeTcbPrivilege
SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
SeCreateTokenPrivilege
SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
SeServiceLogonRight
SeBatchLogonRight
I added both to the /etc/passwd file using /bin/mkpasswd, both accounts have /home/ directories.
Advice? Thoughts?
Thanks!
