Re: sftp on a Windows 2003 server
Larry,
Before I ran setup, I exited from all Cygwin docs, apps, etc. I deleted everything, files, folders, users, registry entries, anything I could think of. I rebooted the server.
I ran setup and the only thing I enabled was openssh.
This is the results I got when I logged onto hte bash shell for the first time:
Your group name is currently "mkgroup_l_d". This indicates that not
all domain users and groups are listed in the /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group
This message is only displayed once (unless you recreate /etc/group)
and can be safely ignored.

Um, is it because the ntsec environment variable is already set?
Thanks for taking the time, I know I am eating up most of your day and I really appreciate it.

Yeah, that's a common oversight for web email clients...

In general, any headers from the previous email don't need to be included and
are generally discouraged. That eliminates allot. Some email clients, like
Thunderbird, which I use, adds an intro (see above) with a reference to your
previous posting. Some of them will add email addresses here too. That's
usually the one that slips through the most. As a note, removing the address
(i.e. @foo.bar) is all that's required. The name or id is fine to leave.
You're correct that my email address is not pointing to me. It's there to
prod anyone replying to reply to the list. So, fortunately, I won't be seeing
more spam as a result. The list's address is valid, as you know, though.
So it's good manners to remove this as well as any individual's.

Actually, we draw the line there. If there's an email address in the sig,
then we assume that the poster doesn't care that the address may be
harvested. In that case, it's also not too important to pull the same address
out of other spots in the reply. ;-)

It happens. Don't worry about it. If it makes you feel better, you're not
the first one to not recognize this.

If 'openssh' is what you want, that's all you need to install (plus whatever
installs by default).
