RE: Problem With SShd


Dear Mr. Marco,
Thanks for your reply.
the output of  ls -l /var |grep empty is as follows 
drwxr-x--x+ 1 cyg_server Administrators 0 Jul 13 13:47 empty.
What I have noticed that after a period of time the owner changes to SYSTEM
instead of cyg_server.
So, I just run the following:
Chmod 700 /var/empty.
Chown cyg_server /var/empty.
So I can connect to my server over ssh but with a password not public key.
Best regards.
