Here's the "real" incantation:
cygcheck /usr/sbin/sshd.exe | sed -ne 's,\\,/,g' -e '/cygwin/p' | \
 xargs cygpath -u | xargs chmod a+x
Sorry for letting that test bit through...
 

(as is, on 2 lines -- just cut-and-paste to your shell).
Also, "chmod a+x /bin".
   

and
sshd : PID 2548 : starting service `' failed: redirect_fd: open (1,
/var/log/sshd.log): 13, Permission denied.
     

Try "chmod a+x /var /var/log" and
"chown SYSTEM.SYSTEM /var/log/sshd.log && chmod 644 /var/log/sshd.log"
   

I have attached the output of  cygcheck -svr as the file
cygcheck)output.txt.
What else should I look at, please?
     

It's always a good idea to check permissions on anything that might be
used in a program running as service, just to make sure that the SYSTEM
user (which is used to run services, a.k.a. LocalSystem) has appropriate
access.

I tried the incantation (You're a clever script coder) and the chmod 
commands but to no avail.  Insofar as I can tell, system has access to 
all of the files it is looking for.  I even tried chmod 777 
/var/log/sshd.log in an effort to identify the problem..

I also went through a cygwin installation on a Windows/2000 machine 
using the same procedure as the Windows/2003 server machine, and it 
works just fine.  So I conclude that there is some subtle difference 
between W2K3 and W2K which is tripping up Cygwin for some reason.  Maybe 
that's naive.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Jeff
