Have you tried making another user from scratch? Also insure that the
username doesn't have any spaces, which Win allows, but gave me trouble
with SSH. Double check the contents of your group file - mine has all
the local groups along with something that looks like a shortened SID
next to them. My password file has the SSH user (SID removed from line
below):
:SSH User,U-COMPUTER\sshuser,SID:/home/sshuser:/bin/switch

Actually, while Network Simplicity abandoned their project, it was
picked up by:
http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
The sshd file is dated September 2003 and displays version information
3.7.1p1. Current version on the openssh web site is 3.8.1p1, so it
seems like sshwindows is one version behind.

For what it is worth, I do NOT have the SYSTEM user in my setup.

I don't think the problem is necessarily with the home directory, it
seems like the problem may be with the /bin directory or the switch.exe
file. Note that I have Windows 2000 running Fat32 and NOT NTFS, so
there may be a difference. However, here are my permission (excerpt):
drwxr-xr-x 2 Administ mkpasswd 0 Jun 25 14:40 bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ mkpasswd 232960 Sep 17 2003 ssh.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ mkpasswd 11264 Sep 21 2003 switch.exe
I hope this helps!
