fyi, this is all about trying to get sshd to accept incoming connections. I want to use winscp into my xp box to move files.
I am very confused about what password sshd would use - does it use windows authentication or does it expect to find passwords in /etc/passwd? Can I choose?
Thanks!!

Hi,
I've used cygwin before, but for the first time I did mkpasswd and mkgroup and got it so that when go to a cygwin prompt, my id actually shows as my windows username and I end up in /home/myusername. Woohoo.
wait, if I try to vi /etc/sshd_config now I cannot write it, because it is owned by SYSTEM and has restrictive rights.
How do I edit system files now? I don't really grok the permission world in cygwin and how unixy permissions and users map to windows.
Another thing worth mentioning, I am running windows xp sp2 and it is part of a domain. I am a domain user. I am also a member of Administrators on the computer.
Help?
