This is Windows.

I NEVER want to be responsible for the care and feeding of this box. We have a Windows admin who will be responsible for it. He has experience with a commercial SSH server environment. I would prefer to use something he is comfortable with.

If I use Cygwin, it will probably work. But I have very little experience with Cygwin and it seems everytime I tried to play with anything that required launching on box boot and acting in the pre-login environment things were odd. I'm fudding right now since I don't really remember, I just know I stumbled around a lot.

So if I set it up, and 2 months from now I'm working on another project, who will troubleshoot it if there is a problem? And note: A problem on this box means 45 people and 15 BIG printers will be sitting idle.

So, I want to minimize anything that will require me being yanked in. Let the admin handle it. Which means using something he is comfortable with.

New Agreed.
The SSH Tectia server is a whole lot more fire-and-forget than the chewing-gum-and-gaffer-tape assembly of Cygwin.

If you want to be taken seriously deploying UNIXy type things on Windows, don't use Cygwin.

The discussion of Windows as a suitable platform can take place elsewhere; sometimes there isn't a choice.
