openssh under Windows XP

[Lars Schouw]

I am having a problem installing the ssh server daemon
sshd under Windows XP.
I keep on getting the following error:

$ ssh-host-config  -y
Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/ssh_config file
Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) yes
Privilege separation is set to yes by default since
OpenSSH 3.3.
However, this requires a non-privileged account called
'sshd'.
For more info on privilege separation read
/usr/share/doc/openssh/README.privsep
.

Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/sshd_config file

Host configuration finished. Have fun!

I have created the sshd user under Windows and in
cygwin /etc/passwd


When I look in the event log under Windows XP I can
see this error message:
Object Open:
 	Object Server:	Security
 	Object Type:	Key
 	Object Name:
\REGISTRY\USER\S-1-5-21-1262546438-923394911-2232506658-29478
 	Handle ID:	-
 	Operation ID:	{0,14750546}
 	Process ID:	740
 	Image File Name:	C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
 	Primary User Name:	IBTKYGSW84974$
 	Primary Domain:	AD
 	Primary Logon ID:	(0x0,0x3E7)
 	Client User Name:	schouwl
 	Client Domain:	AD
 	Client Logon ID:	(0x0,0x22D5EC)
 	Accesses:		MAX_ALLOWED 
			
 	Privileges:		-
 	Restricted Sid Count: 0


Does this ring a bell by anyone?
My Windows admin told me it might because there is a
limit fo how many open socket connections the Windows
XP pro can have open at one time and should try on a
server version of Windows.
