    thanks for ssh configurator
    i juts installed it on my xp machine and
    every time i try to start sshd from the
    configurator, in the sshd.log in /var/log
    i get the message:

    Bad owner or mode for /var/empty

    and it does not start sshd.

    Using ssh configurator i had deleted all users
    but myself (not from windows). ls -l /var shows

    var] $51 ls -al
    otal 0
    rwxrwxrwt+   5 SYSTEM   Administ        0 Jun 24 16:31 ./
    rwxrwxrwt+   8 Jwahar B None            0 Jun 24 16:16 ../
    rwxrwxrwt+   2 Jwahar B None            0 Jun 24 16:23 New Folder/
    rwxrwxrwt+   2 SYSTEM   Administ        0 Jun 24 16:31 empty/
    rwxrwxrwt+   2 SYSTEM   Administ        0 Jun 24 16:11 log/
    var] $52

    any help appreciated,
    who should be the owner of /var/empty and what should be its permission

    thanks

      I'm glad you were able to download and install the ssh configurator. However, I have not been able to work on this project for quite some time and it is old and insecure. I recommend installing the latest version of Cygwin if you wish to use ssh on windows.

      I am currently working on creating a user manager for Cygwin that will make managing users easier. As soon as I can, I will update the home page as a result.
