> b. C:\cygwin root directory (default).

> c. Install for all users (default).

> d. Unix/ binary default text file type (default).

> e. C:\cygwin\setup local package directory (default).

> f. Direct connection to Internet (default).

> g. ftp://mirrors.kernel.org download site.

> h. Select source packages to match base/ default packages.

> i. Create Desktop and Start menu shortcuts.
>
> 3. Start Cygwin Bash Shell, then exit it.

> 4. Run Cygwin Setup again:

> a-g. Same as above.
>
> h. Select 'openssh' package. Setup will select dependencies.
> Select source packages for all of these.
>
> i. No need to recreate shortcuts.

> 5. Start Cygwin Bash Shell and wrestle with ssh-host-config, 'net start

> could create the cyg_server account. (I changed permissions to 0644
> afterwards.)
>
> b. 'chmod 0777 /etc/group' -- more overkill for ssh-host-config.
> (I changed permissions to 0644 afterwards.)
>
> c. 'chmod 0777 /var' -- more overkill for ssh-host-config. (I left
> it that way.)
>
> d. 'chown cyg_server /var/empty' -- necessary to start the sshd
> service.
