sftp disconnected immediately

Hi,

I've been stuck for a while on this problem and I've not found any clear answer 'til I found it myself...
may be this will be useful to someone else...

My config :
WXP running sshd as a service (via cygwin) as explained everywhere (and the classical errors solved thanks to this list ;-) 2 XP declared users: 1 admin and one limited Access of the whole disk forbidden for limited user, except home dir and a few cygwin files

Both users are able to ssh correctly
Admin user able to sftp correctly
BUT limited user was disconnected immediately after sftp password validation

Thanks to filemon tool I managed to find that access to wsock32.dll and psapi.dll in windows/system32 where denied when trying to log with limited user account.

Adding execution/read right to both files on the server solved it...

Hope this helps!
