I just installed Cygwin and cygwin sshd on a fresh Win10 Virtual Box
machine.
Running 'ssh-host-config' worked perfectly, saying the service was
installed.
I accepted all the defaults.
However, the service fails to start -- whether on 'reboot' or
manually.
Specifically,
#cygrunsrv -S cygsshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error
1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a
timely fashion
#net start cygsshd
The service is not responding to the control function.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.
I am using the native Windows Defender firewall, which has
"Cygwin SSHD - 22 - Private" enabled for 'Private' (but not for
'Public')
Googling the error messages didn't show anything helpful
Any ideas what might be going wrong here?
