Hello All,
I recently installed Cygwin v1.3.15-2 on a NT4 server with sp6a. I
installed the sshd service by using the Cygwin "ssh-host-config -y"
command. I changed the permissions, ownership, and groups of /usr/bin/ssh,
/usr/sbin/sshd, and /var/empty to 1755 SYSTEM.SYSTEM. The /etc/ssh_h*_key
files were changed to 1600 and SYSTEM.SYSTEM. The /etc/ssh_h*.pub files
were changed to 1644 and SYSTEM.SYSTEM. I have got the point where my sshd
service starts with no errors in the windows event viewer and I can log
into by box via ssh. However I still get the following error message in
/var/log/sshd.log file.
Permissions 0755 for '/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key' are too open.
It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by
others.
This private key will be ignored.
bad permissions: ignore key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
Bad owner or mode for /var/empty
I have read a few older posts that state changing the permissions on the
above files would fix the problem. I believe that I have done that. Can
someone please point me in the right direction so that I can get rid of
this message? I can use the service okay, but I would really like to get a
functional sshd log. Below is a partial output of cygcheck -s.
CYGWIN = `ntsec tty notitle glob'
HOME = `C:\cygwin\home\Administrator'
MAKE_MODE = `unix'
PWD = `/home/Administrator'
USER = `Administrator'

Thank you for your time,
