Hope you haven't been waiting since May for an answer, but see the thread "OpenSSH service not created..." for how to use the same method as the installer using cygrunsrv to create the service.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello
I am trying to install OpenSSH on win xp via the cygwin route. Can anyone please help me with it:
I am unable to start sshd. It gave me host_key host_rsa_key and host_dsa_key not found, so I used ssh-keygen to generate thses files. now I get:
c:\>sshd
Disabling protocol version 1 could not load host key
Privilege separation user sshd does not exists
How do I get rid of these error messages ? and How do I create a service ?
Any help / info will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ajay
Ok, I got it to work on the command line. Now if I start sshd from the command line, server starts, and ssh / scp clients can connect.
The only remaining problem is setting up sshd as a system service. Any help in that area will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ajay
