I started from scratch on my own admin-backup laptop running WinXP. I've just 
managed to get ssh working, connecting from the BPC-server to Windows. Adding 
the Win-client to the BPC-server, and using rsync as a backup method, I get 
that dreaded "Unable to read 4 bytes", which tells me the passwordless login 
for user "backuppc" didn't quite work out as expected...

Anyway, I can ssh in to the WinXP-machine using a *local* account on the 
machine itself. Anything else, ie a domain account, just won't work for me. 
Shouldn't be a problem anyway, on the Win2k3-server, as the local admin 
account on that particular machine has access to the user folders I want to 
backup.

I'm expecting a nightly reboot of the Win2k3-server I've been working on 
before, as Cygwin has been locked to lsass.exe, and I want to delete 
everything Cygwin and start from scratch on that machine as well.

Tomorrow will tell if ssh to a Win2k3-machine will work as well. Here's 
hoping. 8-}
