Re: ssh-host-config requires cygminires.dll


Hello Brian,

/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README states:
If you start sshd as deamon via cygrunsrv.exe you MUST give the
"-D" option to sshd. Otherwise the service can't get started at all.

chown SYSTEM /etc/ssh_host*_key
chmod 600 /etc/ssh_host*_key

followed by:
cygrunsrv -S sshd
started the sshd service OK.

I have also verified the connection by:
ssh localhost

ssh_host_*_key.pub are owned by the user that has run ssh-host-config
Is it OK ?

I have also tried:

with the following response:
cygrunsrv: trailing commandline argument not allowed
and:
cygrunsrv -D -S sshd
cygrunsrv: unknown option -- D


Why? There is no such option -D to cygrunsrv. Run "cygrunsrv --help" for a summary.


Here are the contents of /var/log/sshd.log :
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.


You'll need to change the permissions on those files. They should have read/write access to SYSTEM and nothing else. If you don't know what you're doing, try the following:

chown SYSTEM /etc/ssh_host*_key
chmod 600 /etc/ssh_host*_key
