Re: SSHD homedir problems / Win2k

I'll check tommorow.
Is this an installer issue then?

On my Win2k machine, I don't run under 'Administrator', but with a 
different user, which is IN the group 'Administrators'.

On my NT4 machine, I did install cygwin under the administrator user.
That is (apart from the obvious os-version) about all I can figure to be 
different.
