Well, for me it didn't work. Here's exactly what I do after a fresh Cygwin installation to get it running: - setup ssh: - set environment variable CYGWIN to "ntsec tty" (Control Panel/ System/Advanced/Environmental Variables) - call "ssh-host-config -y" in a cygwin window --> creates a user "sshd" - chown SYSTEM /etc/ssh_host_* /var/empty - net start sshd - try to login with "ssh localhost" So for me it seems as sshd is installed as service but this last check somehow fails. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Gernot Hillier CT SE 2 Siemens AG, Mch P -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
