SSHD authentication

[***]

HI:


I have configured a SSHD on a NT4.0 member server running SP6. I've
configured

sshd to start via SRVANY. I can see the service has started and have
verified

that I can at least attempt a connection via SecureCRT on my client machine.
I'm

prompted to accept the keys however connection fails at the password stage.
I

receive the message "Password Authentication failed.


I have SSHD running against the system account. I do have a service account
for

SSHD however I wanted to get it working in a fairly vanilla environment
first.



As I'm running SSHD on a non-domain controller I'd like to use the local

accounts for user authentication. I thought this was controlled via the
/etc/passwd

file. However when I launch cygwin and then login and attempt to login with
the

username and password I've set login fails.


I have also poured over the documentation and do not understand where I
should

set the netsec variable. Please tell me what file this variable needs to

configured for.


Any help would be much appreciated. Please reply to this
