Fw: Problem configuring sshd as a service -expr error

[prgmmer]

Cygwin 1.5.5-1 under Xp

Currently ssh-host-config runs after i deleted some other paths off of this
old computer. However I get:

cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.

Thanxs.
