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?
Password authentication is done through Windows. Passwords on all NT-based
platforms come from Windows.
