problem installing cygwin+sshd

["Michael" <bgn7a3m02 at sneakemail dot com>]

Hello,

I'm trying to install cygwin+sshd on a WinXPPro-machine, but get an
error, when starting the service.
It would be great, if someone is able to help me find a hint for a
solution for this problem!

Here a summary what I did:
- logged in with domain-user with local admin privileges
- installed cygwin
- - to c:\cygwin
- - for all users
- - with packages openssh v4.5p1-1, tcp_wrappers v7.6-1
- added env-var CYGWIN and added cygwin-dir to PATH
- started cygwin and "ssh-host-config"
- - privilege separation -> yes
- - create local user sshd -> yes
- - install sshd as a service -> yes
- net start sshd
=>

--cut--
$ net start sshd
The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
--cut--

- cygrunsrv --start sshd
=>

--cut--
$ cygrunsrv --start sshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
--cut--

-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM mkgroup-l-d 3039 Feb 15 03:02 sshd_config

I also changed the dir-permissions of c:\cygwin, c:\cygwin\var and
c:\cygwin\var\log for "user" SYSTEM manually

what else can I check???

any ideas?

thank you very much for any help!
