Hi All !

I have installed Cygwin on Vista -- but was unable to install SSH server
on it.

ssh-host-config returns an error no matter what I do. Diabling UAC
doesn't help.

Here is what I get when I try to setup SSH on Vista:

$ ssh-host-config
chmod: changing permissions of `/etc': Permission denied
setfacl: Permission denied
chmod: changing permissions of `/var/log': Permission denied
setfacl: Permission denied
Are you running with elevated Administrator permissions?

Yes, I tried running that with:-- right click->run as administrator->cygwin bash shell

If this is what you mean by "elevated Administrator permissions"... or
something else?
It does not help.


Seeing the output (*attached*) from 'cygcheck -s -r -v' as requested by <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> would help. What does 'ls -ld /etc' say? What does 'getfacl /etc' say? What about 'cacls c:\cygwin\etc'?

In other words, who has permissions to change '/etc' and who's it's
owner?  Sounds like you need to rejigger ownerships/permissions to make
this work.  Perhaps try that based on the output of the above.
