Re: Make open ssh work with PKA on a Windows 2003 server

[Yohann Rebattu <y dot rebattu at yahoo dot fr>]

thank you very much for answering me.
i don't trust the other web site anymore about cygwin;

i did read openssh.README and reinstall the whole thing
the ssh-host-config didn't create sshd_server at the fisrt time, so
since i've read the readme i ran cygrunsrv -R sshd
and then run ssh-host-config again, this time it works and i got the
proper user sshd_server but i got the error message about changing owner
of /var/empty, /var/log/sshd.log

so as explained in README file, i've tried to rerun ssh-host-config
no error message this time.
But once i run cygrunsrv -S sshd i get the message win32 error 1069

So i had a look in the mailind list, i understood i had to change
ownerchip of /var/empty and /var/log/sshd/log to SYSTEM:SYSTEM, but when
i try to do it i get invalid user message.

i'v tried to gave theses files to sshd or sshd_server (i don't know
exactly wich one has to own the files) theses time i didn't get any
error message, but still have error when runing the cygrunsrv -S sshd
command.

What shall i do now?
thank you once again.
