Greetings, Mirko Vukovic!
> (Cygwin64, Windows 7, cygcheck attached - with some site details omitted)
> I updated cygwin64 yesterday, and sshd stopped working. I reinstalled
> cygwin64, configured sshd, but it is still failing.
> The message in /var/log/sshd.log is:
> /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
> I tried fixing the permissions (started shell as administrator) but I
> cannot change the group permission via chmod g-w. I don't get any
> error messages. Here are the permissions for /var/empty (some details
> elided):
>>ls -ld /var/empty
> drwxr-xr--+ 1 MACHINE+cyg_server Administrators 0 Feb 24 16:12 /var/empty/
> I am member of the administrators group on my machine. The cyg_server
> and sshd users look ok.
> Any thoughts on why I cannot change the permission?
setfacl -b
Or just remove it altogether.
