RE: SSHD problems on Windows 2000 Professional


Did you read the cygwin ssh docs in /usr/docs
SSHD is not perfect on cygwin but I managed to get it to work running as
a service. Inetd is not recommended as far as I remember.

Subject: SSHD problems on Windows 2000 Professional


I am running the latest version (as of minutes ago) of Cygwin and
encountered problems of SSHD. I did not found answer in latest posts.

I used ssh-host-config to set up sshd. I installed sshd as service and
used the default "CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec". While it started perfectly
for the first time and was completely usable, the service even refused
to stop. I had to kill sshd.exe in task manager. And then it would not
work until the next boot.

I tried starting sshd from inetd. It was even worse. When I connected to
it from a remote box, there was no response at all. And then sshd.exe
hung. Stopping the service inetd would not stop sshd.exe. I could not
even kill it. I had to reboot the W2k box.

I also tried sshd.exe directly from Cygwin Bash. I would see the prompt
for password on a remote box when connecting to it, but the password
could not be accepted. It always reports "Permission denied".

Any help? (Reply to me, please.)

Thanks and best regards,

Wu Yongwei
