I'm able to ssh with Administrator or user1, but with user2 and user3 I get "closed by remote host" immediately after I login. ssh -N work without problem. I notice that in the event viewer I get "Cannot find account for uid 2505." But the uid for that user is 133577 Here are the passwd record for that user user2:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:133577:10513:Artur Pinheiro,U-BEPBC\user2,S-1-5-21-1687214194-3739405474-41422061-123577:/ssh:/ssh/switch Notice the diffrence between 133577 and 123577 The main difference between user1 and user2 & user3 is that in user1, the user part in the SID is smaller. user1: S-1-5-21-1687214194-3739405474-41422061-4804 user2: S-1-5-21-1687214194-3739405474-41422061-123577 user3: S-1-5-21-1687214194-3739405474-41422061-242181 Is there any limitation in the user part of the SID?
