Cygnus SSHD question

Post #147,742 by broomberg 3/23/04 9:23:06 AM Reply	Cygnus SSHD question Win 2000 server. Cygnus installed, bash works. Install for everyone as per docs. OpenSSH installed. ssh-host-config run cygrunsrv installed. "cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a -D" run. "cygrunsrv -S sshd" errors cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. Yick. I can execute it from the bash command line then access the box via ssh just fine. How do I get it to run all the time?

This should be in the 2000 docs, I'm not going over to Windows and dropping my 43k connection to find out. In the past it was in the Resource Kits docs. WinVNC does the correct setup-as-service, you could install that and study what it set up among services. BTW this should have been done for you by the installer - this is why I am skeptical of the entire Cygwin idea. -drl

I used the cygrunsrv to add sshd, but it actually created an entry named sshd which points to c:\\cygwin\\bin\\cygrunsrv.exe. I can execute the sshd from windows command line and it works. Can I execute it directly via the services dialog? I don't see how to delete or create new ones in it, only how to start and stop them.

That is you don't need SRVANY and that junk from the RK. -drl

I was sure this facility already existed in Windows 2000 because it was so widespread on NT4. -drl
