    Hello,

    I've succesfully installed openssh under cygwin. (according to
    http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html)

    I'd just want to make sure things are set up ok....

    my own user account, which has a password now, has ssh access. is it
    right that the administrator and guest account don't have access and
    that any other account without a password doesn't either? I don't want
    them to either, just want to make sure that a smart kid somewhere can't
    get in due to some silly thing I forgot to turn off :)

    Thanks,

     

    Samor
