SSHD, Cygwin and Windows 2003 : continued with user rights

[Olivier ALLART]

Following Mark J de Jong 's step by step howto (see end of mail for some 
add-ons), I can now effectively log in with pkey method (that is, no 
password) using the 'administrator' user name.
'whoami' returns 'administrator', however asking for a command such as 
IISRESET returns the error 'you are not a local administrator of this 
machine...', which means the rights management has failed somewhere.

What shall I do to be able tu run IISreset from ssh pkey under 
administrator ?


note :  suing to 'administrator' returns 'wrong password' after correct 
pass input, and loging via sshd with the 'local system sshd' method 
acknowledges the administrator to execute IISRESET..

that's why I wonder if adding the 'create token' n co stuff to the user 
SYSTEM wouldn't help, but I feel this is not a right thing to do ...

add the c:\cygwin\bin  to the path
add cygwin=ntsec tty environment variable

also ssh-user-config

it helps, but not enough :)
