sshd service needs to be restarted after every boot

[Jörg Gerlach]

Hi,

I try to run sshd as a service on a windows 7 system. All works fine 
after I manually stops and start the sshd service (with "net stop/start 
sshd" command). But without that the client shows:

     client@server:/root$ ssh -vvv -p 2222 user@windowsPC

     debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
     Connection closed by 192.168.0.10

and on the windows host I get an error event from sshd:

     sshd: PID 1104: fatal: Write failed: Socket operation on non-socket 
[preauth]

The installation and configuration of the sshd-service was made with 
following steps:

     1) Install cygwin with an extra administrator account (Packages: 
openssh, vim, wget, curl, mc, rsync, shutdown)
     2) run ssh-host-config (reply all questions with "yes", keep 
default values for cygwin deamon and name)
     3) add rules for the windows firewall and start sshd
     4) ssh-copy-id from the client to the windows host

I already use sshd on other windows7 systems successfully with the same 
configuration. There I don't need to restart the sshd service after boot.

Jörg Gerlach.
