'NT SERVICE\sshd' needs Read access to 'C:\Users\rob\.ssh\authorized_keys'.

Shall I make the above change?

[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): A

'NT SERVICE\sshd' now has Read access to 'C:\Users\rob\.ssh\authorized_keys'.

Repaired permissions


PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Start-Service sshd

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Service sshd

I modified C:\ProgramData\ssh\sshd_config

# Logging

#SyslogFacility AUTH

SyslogFacility LOCAL0

#LogLevel INFO

LogLevel DEBUG


Then

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Stop-Service sshd

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Start-Service sshd

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Service sshd
