groups and permissions...

[melchior]

Hi there guys...

i'm cross posting, and i'm sorry to those of you who also subscribe to  
ssh-l. just hoping someone here might be able to lend a hand. thanks.

			so, i want to run ssh under cygwin on a win xp computer. but i am  
having problems... specifically with groups, at least that's what i  
think. You can see that the cygwin is having a problem with the group  
system:system.... and also below are the results of things that might  
be beneficial. I'm not sure how things are supposed to look in  
/etc/passwd and /etc/group so any help would be greatly appreciated.  
thanks.

[Melchior@magi]~:{40}:$ ssh entropy@localhost
entropy@localhost's password:
Last login: Sun Mar 23 22:23:41 2003 from localhost
setgid: Invalid argument
Connection to localhost closed.

Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3.
However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
For more info on privilege separation read  
/usr/doc/openssh/README.privsep.
