    Actually I found putty to be a bit flaky when conencting to certain versions of openSSH servers. However the cygwin port of openssh has always seemed to worked like a dream.

    i found this as a link off the first google hit for OPENSSH WINDOWS

  3. Re:Yep -- sshd configuration instructions by lobster_sew · · Score: 1 · on SSH Secure Services on Windows 2K/XP?

    I've just followed these instructions. Cutting a long story short, if you enable NTSEC and priviledge separation (and if not, why not?) then you'll need to take one more step to get the daemon working.

    Just do:
    chown 18:18 /var/empty
    chmod 755 /var/empty

    Kudos to Christopher Snyder. Check out his posting to the mailing list for more info.

  4. Cygwin is STANDARD on my Windows systems by BitMan · · Score: 3, Informative · on SSH Secure Services on Windows 2K/XP?

    As a long-time NT administrator (original NT 3.1 beta tester), no Windows system goes on my network without Cygwin . In recent years, they've added XFree86 4.x (which works flawlessly nowdays), and other goodies like OpenSSH.

    And on Win/NT versions (NT, 2K, XP), you can setup OpenSSH in full server mode which is especially sweet for automation. You can find more information on how to configure OpenSSH as a server on NT/2K/XP here.

    There is not a week that goes by without me needing something (let alone another user on our local support list) that Cygwin doesn't solve quickly and effectively. Again, that's why its on all my Windows systems by default.

  5. I set up SSHD on winnt... by rimdo · · Score: 1 · on SSH Secure Services on Windows 2K/XP?

    ...by using cygwin and this very informative site.

  6. Yep -- sshd configuration instructions by KMSelf · · Score: 4, Informative · on SSH Secure Services on Windows 2K/XP?

    Second all of the above.

    For configuring sshd, see http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.html.

    That should have been these directions for setting up sshd.

  8. Clients are superb (tho server needs some work) by mrflip · · Score: 4, Informative · on Cygwin's XFree86 4.2.0 on Windows XP
    I use the cygwin/XFree86 programs daily, and have been for several months now. It is truly a beautiful thing to be able to use bash _and_ windows explorer to manage files, or to Alt-TAB from emacs to CorelDraw to FrontPage when web editing.

    Actually, though, what I use are Xclients compiled against the XFree86 libraries. The XFree86 X server doesn't yet have a useable multiple-window mode -- that is, one in which XP is your window manager and each program appears in a separate Windows window. <FLAMESUIT>Since what I want is the superior windows UI with the superior GNU utilities power, the separate window mode is pretty essential. Thus I still use eXceed as my Xserver. </FLAMESUIT>

    Work on this capability is proceeding; it is, in fact, the top item on the Cygwin/XFree TODO list:

    Seamless integration with Windows: Create a Cygwin/XFree86 window manager to display each X client in its own Win32 window. Such a window manager will be a stand-alone client, but it may require some internal modifications to the Cygwin/XFree86 server to allow drawing to be redirected to various Win32 windows, depending on which client is being drawn.
    By the way, if you are setting up Cygwin for the first time, I highly recommend following the procedures outlined at
    http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-ssh.asp
    (which largely consists of instructions for ssh/sshd with Cygwin, but has many other excellent setup tips).
