I need to be able to SSH into a Windows machine with Cygwin installed
and be able to run Windows programs and see the Windows they create.
That is, when I run "notepad" I need to see the Window it creates.
And, I need multiple users to be able to do this.
In the past, I did this by having each user put an item in their
Startup folder that did:
C:\cygwin64\usr\sbin\sshd.exe -p 8100
where the port, 8100 in this case, is different for each user.
The snag now seems to be:
$ /usr/sbin/sshd.exe -p 8100
/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
$ ls -l /var
total 4
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 layer Domain Users 0 Mar 16 10:13 cache/
drwxr-x--x+ 1 Administrator Administrators 0 Mar 16 10:08 empty/
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 layer Domain Users 0 Mar 16 10:06 lib/
drwxrwxrwt+ 1 Administrators Administrators 0 Mar 16 15:08 log/
drwxrwxrwt+ 1 Administrators Administrators 0 Mar 16 10:51 run/
drwxrwxrwt+ 1 layer Domain Users 0 Apr 2 00:42 tmp/
$
The "in the past" is on an older version of Cygwin that hasn't been
updated in a while. The new machine, where this is not working, is
pretty up to date.
Ideas?
Thanks.
Kevin
