On Oct 13 11:20, Charles Wilson wroteThis is bad. Suppose I am a cygwin user on a machine to which I do not have Administrator privileges. Until now, I could run a personal sshd on a unique port, and connect back to my windows box. Now I can't -- because, as a non-Admin, I can't create the sshd user. (and this use case is not a hypothetical; I do this on the job often)
You can create a fake sshd account in /etc/passwd, using your own account. Other than that, I agree. It's not exactly a nice change.
