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

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
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.
