I should have said I did exactly _no_ group/permission by-hand fiddling to get the setup I sent. All happened auto-magically as a result of basic install. Looking at my download area, I see I installed cygwin, cygrunsrv and openssh all as part of my initial install. I can't immediately detect any sign of what initialisations ran in what order -- /etc/sshd_config was built about an hour after the downloads. . .
Right. '/etc/sshd_config' is built by 'ssh-host-config'. It will create the 'sshd' user for those requesting privilege separation and 'cyg-server' as the privileged user to run the 'sshd' service under. All this is done as part of the 'ssh-host-config' script. If this script isn't run, then obviously the 'sshd' service won't start. That's not say that it will always just start when 'ssh-host-config' is run. But that's the intent and the blueprint for debugging problems. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
