How to open port 22 for ssh on PIX501 and Windows Server 2003?

I would like to setup a secure shell (ssh) link to a windows 2003 server through a pix501 firewall. How would I do this on the windows server and the pix??

Hmm... I'm almost there, just on the SSH, when I try to connect, after I put in the password, I get this error and the connection closes:

setgid: Invalid argument

* Also, when I tried to setup a domain group in openssh, it wouldn't let me, only local, so I added my user to the local group. This server is not part of any windows domains, just a workgroup with only itself in it.

Any ideas?

i am not sure which ssh server or client you are using. I would suggest you post on the Windows forum as the firewalls forum might not have too many people who have worked with those particular applications.

I have set one up long back; Grblades might have more info for you.

To see if the firewall is successfully passing packets to the windows server, telnet to this from the internet:
telnet <pix outside ip> 22

I'm using openssh as grblades suggested. I will have to say that since that was not part of my original question, I will repost and award the points to both answers since you both helped with getting through the pix! Thanks, Compinfo
