OpenSSH and file system corruption

["Noel L Yap" <yap_noel at jpmorgan dot com>]

We've been experimenting with using the Cygwin OpenSSH port (including the
server) on three separate NT boxes.  On all three, we've started getting sharing
violations when trying to remove empty directories.  This occurs even when
nothing else if running (eg from a very clean boot).

I suspect one or more of the following:
1. Interaction between permissions and file system.
2. SSH executables (ie ssh, ssh-keygen, ...) interaction with file system.  (I
don't think this is likely).
3. SSH server (ie sshd) interaction with file system.
4. ssh'ing to the NT box causes something to screw up possibly since NT assumes
there's only one login at a time.

Our setup is fairly simple.  We're running sshd as a normal process (ie not as a
service, although we have tried this in the past).  We're using /etc/passwd to
get the users' shell (/bin/bash).  We're not using inetd.

Has anyone else run into anything like this?

Thanks,
Noel
