Dropbear - Cygwin - Windows Vista

[Zev Beckerman]

The supported version of Cygwin ran with Windows XP. I am trying to run it under 

Windows Vista with UAC turned off. I successfully compiled under Cygwin (1.7.7), 
set up 

the keys and can start the server and client. But i cannot authenticate. Any 
suggestions? This is what I did.

./configure
make PROGRAMS="dropbear dbclient dropbearkey dropbearconvert"
./dropbearkey -t rsa -f dropbear_rsa_host_key
./dropbearkey -t dss -f dropbear_dss_host_key
mdkir /home/testuser
mkpasswd > /etc/passwd
--check to make sure the shell exists that was created in /etc/password for user

--start server
./dropbear.exe -E -r dropbear_rsa_host_key -d dropbear_dss_host_key

open second Cygin and connect with dbclient

./dbclient testuser at 192.168.1.4
 
--result from client
[3904] Jan 03 13:20:53 bad password attempt for 'testuser' from 192.168.1.4:5411

I was under the impression that the mkpasswd linked dropbear users to the 
Windows account users. The testuser is an Aministrator user. I am using my 
windows password for that user.
Any suggestions please?
