my original problem might have been due to windows firewall.

Nothing in your cygcheck output seems out of the oridinary.
Normally the reason for the malfunction is listed in the Event Log,
which you need to check. There is a chance there is also information in
/var/log/sshd.log but this will only be the case if cygrunsrv itself
encounters an error (rather than sshd.)
In my experience almost all cases of sshd not starting are due to wrong
or incorrect permissions on some files. ssh-host-config ought to take
care of this for you. It could also be a software firewall that isn't
allowing the process to bind to port 22.
If you cannot figure out from the above what the problem is, I suggest
you remove all traces of the sshd service and re-run ssh-host-config.
To do this:
$ cygrunsrv --remove sshd
$ rm -rf /etc/{ssh_host_*,sshd_config} /var/{empty,run/sshd*,log/sshd*}
$ ssh-host-config
If you get any permission denied errors at the rm step you'll need to
chown the files before deleting them.

Re: sshd crahes; ssh instal fails
I installed it using the script ssh-host-config the script did not return any error messages The crash occurs after I try to start the service. I have installed ssh in my other window madhines using the same script with no problem . the only diffference is older versions of cygwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hello: > > I just downloaded latest version of cygwin.
