RE: Ssh running on windows

Yeah, I do, openssh for windows. Sorry, missed to specifically say that. 8*]

Anyway, I ran through the setup instructions as speced on the below link, but
then the opensshh service refused to start. Tracked it down to
"UsePrivilegeSeparation=yes" in the opensshd_config-file and the sshd-account.
Changing it back to "no" and using the system-account again allowed the
service to start. Otherwise would not.

You know guys, setting up ssh to work properly in windows is just to much of a
hassle. I think I'm just going to fix some kind solution on the fedora
core-based webserver I have running. Seems like a much simpler solution right
now

Why MS didn't do this from the start is beyond me <rolling eyes>.

I'll let this whole thing rest for a while.

Thx all for your pointers, I really appreciate that!

It sounds like you are using OpenSSH for Windows. If so, there is a very
excellent page about setting it up on a Windows 2k3 server found at this
location:

http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~smp/projects/ssh-windows/

The information there may help explain what is going wrong.
