Re: Trouble installing ssh server on Vista Home 64

[Dan Kegel <dank at kegel dot com>]

Followup: I tried again, with

cygrunsrv --stop sshd
cygrunsvr --remove sshd
ssh-host-config
and then saying yes to everything except "do you want to use a different name".
This time configuration succeeded, net start sshd succeeded,
and ssh localhost succeeded!

I then added an exception for port 22 in Windows Firewall,
and ssh from the next machine also worked.

Whew.  That was a struggle!   I wonder if ssh-host-config's -y
option should be changed to default "do you want to use a different name"
to "no".
