Re: Win2003 server and cron/sshd as services (1.5.19)
Hi Mark,
Thanks for looking at this with me. I have restarted the sshd service
many times, and have provided the password for the sshd_server account
each time I've installed the service (whether installing it manually or
with ssh-host-config). Below is how I have been typically installing
the service, when doing it manually. It appears to be functionally
equivalent to your script.
It's strange how the service starts normally, and sshd enters the
process table, but it appears to refuse to run. I wonder if there is a
way to test my password for the sshd_server account (or would cygrunsrv
complain if it were wrong?)
Thanks
Mike Dunn

I've been having problems getting cron/sshd to work properly (as
services or not as services) on a Win 2003 server. I understand that
certain attributes of the SYSTEM account changed in win2003, and I've
tried to allow ssh-host-config to setup sshd, but with no success. I
have tried setting up both sshd and cron manually (following relevant
win2003 advice from
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00368.html), but I still
cannot seem to get either service to work properly.
Have you stopped and started the ssh service several times? If so,
have you remembered to provide the password that that 'ssh-host-config'
requires you to create? It would be helpful in diagnosing your problem
if you were to provide the text of your commands for starting and
stopping
the ssh service.
Here is an edited copy of the command that I have put into a wrapper
script to start the ssh service. I am running sshd on several computers
running W2003. I have edited out the password that I use. See the
cygrunsrv documentation for a description of its options.
start_sshd.sh
------------
#!/bin/bash
# Stop if any errors occur.
set -o errexit;
# If there is a running service, then stop it and remove it.
cygrunsrv --query sshd > /dev/null 2>&1 && {
cygrunsrv --stop $service;
cygrunsrv --remove $service;
};
# Install the sshd service.
cygrunsrv --install sshd --shutdown --path /usr/sbin/sshd --args "-D" \
--disp "Cygwin sshd" --desc "Cygwin Openssh service" \
--user sshd_server --passwd "your_fine_password" \
--env "CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty";
# Start the sshd service.
cygrunsrv --start sshd;
# === End of start_sshd.sh === #
Of course, since 'your_fine_password' is provided in clear text, you'll
want to keep this script protected, or maybe change the script to
prompt you for the password.
