Re: sshd fails to start: logon failure

Hi all,

I tried to ssh to my cygwin box today and was unable to connect. It
seems the sshd service can no longer run, for reasons that mystify me:
# net start sshd
System error 1069 has occurred.

The service did not start due to a logon failure.

I wasn't aware of having changed anything; would it be advisable to just reinstall sshd from setup.exe and/or sshd_host_config, or is there some simple troubleshooting I might do?

reinstall is not the way. Likely something reset the cyg_server privileges. Try to re-enable them with

editrights -u cyg_server -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeCreateTokenPrivilege
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeTcbPrivilege
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeServiceLogonRight
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege



In case it helps, the sshd user in /etc/passwd is:
sshd:unused:1003:513:sshd
privsep,U-ryan-cms-utsc\sshd,S-1-5-21-2165564742-446954615-706276285-1003:/var/empty:/bin/bash


Thanks! Ryan


Regards Marco
