SSHD startup problem and suggested fix

[Michael Lang]

Hello Jettero

didn't you install openssh from the setup.exe ...

if not open setup.exe again leave the entrys "keep" as they are,
look for the Entry Openssh-3p2... and set the state to Openssh-3p.2... (..
should be the Version)
after the installation process the binary should be in /usr/sbin/sshd.exe

make a /bin/ssh-host-config
first the Procedure will ask you to install SSH as a Service ... you can ask
with yes and if you expirence
troubles with automatic startup follow the step below in ths Mail.
edit the /etc/sshd_config if needed ...
do a mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd if the file /etc/passwd doesnt existst or a
mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd ifyou
want the Domain Users tobe able to login.
repeat last step with mkgroup if needed ..

using the windows command: net start "CYGWIN sshd"
should start the SSHD Server
