At services Control Panel, the Cygwin Service had to be inited as Local System Account.

Verify it: regedit
go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicessshd

ObjectName LocalSystem

go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicessshdParametersEnvironment

You’ll see

CYGWIN binmode ntsec tty

Let’s go to MSDOS:

As you can see, I don’t have anything at the Pandora user folder:

[code:1]
C:Documents and Settingspandora> ls -la
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 user group 0 Sep 26 15:30 .
drwxrwxrwx 1 user group 0 Sep 28 18:43 ..

Init service:
[code:1]
net start sshd
The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN sshd service was started successfully.

The Pandora Agent:

With this post, as a resume, I finish the CYGWIN-SSHD installation thread.

Well, after reading more mails and POSTs about the question. I’ll try to write step by step the solution of adding the keys (it’s written as a FAQ, http://pandora.sourceforge.net/en/print.php?sec=docs/faq_answers#q23 but it looks like nobody read it!)

– First, use puttygen.exe (available at the .util folder of your pandora_agent_for_windows directory)

– Generate keys, SSH-2_DSA:

– Press Generate 😀

– Export key to OpenSSH key (Cygwin uses a port of OpenSSH):

– We have no chosen password, so press YES:

– Save it as c:pandora_agentkeysid_dsa:

– Now let’s copy the public key to clipboard:

– and paste it as c:pandora_agentkeysid_dsa.pub, after that we’ll copy add it at the /home/pandora/.ssh/authorized_keys file:

[code:1]
cat /c/pandora_agent/keys/id_dsa.pub > /home/pandora/.ssh/authorized_keys

Please, review permissions, at the end, you should have:
[code:1]
drwx——+ pandora mkpasswd .ssh
-rw——- pandora mkpasswd authorized_keys

NOTE
The private key, should be something like:

[code:1]—–BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY—–
MIIBugIBAAKBgQDTFcDxg…..
……
—–END DSA PRIVATE KEY—–

and public key something like

[code:1]ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1k………
