I have a fresh Windows 10 family (x64) install with an Administrator account Jean Perrin
. I installed cygwin with openssh and modified C:\cygwin64\Cygwin.bat
this way:
@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin64\bin
set CYGWIN=binmode ntsec
bash --login -i
Then, I ran into ssh-host-config
, answered yes
to install sshd as a service, no
to privilege separation and let the field empty for the value of CYGWIN for the daemon
. I asked for a new privileged account ljp
, and checked with netplwiz
that this account has Administrator privilege on the host.
I created the /home/ljp
directory manually with mkdir
.
Then I started the sshd service with net start sshd
and was able to login with the Jean Perrin
account:
$ ssh Jean\ Perrin@localhost
Jean Perrin@localhost's password:
Last login: Fri Jan 29 11:03:50 2016 from ...
However, when I want to connect with the ljp
account, I get a permission error:
$ ssh ljp@localhost
ljp@localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again
I tried to follow the advice found here and did
mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
but it didn't changed anything.
What am I doing wrong ? How can I connect via ssh with this account ?
sshd
. It should tell you why it failed.
