Hallöchen! I can start sshd directly with
/usr/sbin/sshd -D which works fine. However, I want it to be a real service, so I called cygrunsrv -S sshd This results in a Windows timeout error #1053: $ cygrunsrv.exe -S sshd cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1053: The service didn't reply in time to the start or control request. What can I do about it? This is what I had done: I wiped out my old Cygwin installation in Win2k and installed the latest version I could find. Included was OpenSSH_4.1p1. >From my old installation, there still is the global environment variable CYGWIN="ntsec tty". I called ssh-host-config, but copied my old config files over the new ones. I use the defaults but disable root login and password authentication. All ssh-related files in /etc/ have my (admin) account as owner, and their priviledges are set correctly. Priviledge separation is off. -- Torsten Bronger, aquisgrana, europa vetus -- 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/
