net start sshd problem

net start sshd problem

[Gordon Fogus]

I installed cygwin for the second time.  I installed all the packages
from ftp%3a%2f%2fmirror.cs.vt.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin%2fcygwin%2f mirror.

My session then ran as follows (after I configured the mkpasswrd thing
for my domain account):
----
gsfogus@GSFogus ~
$ ssh-host-config -y

In order to get to this location, I followed these instructions:
----
1.	After finishing installing Cygwin, right click “My Computer”, and
select “Properties”, “Advanced”, “Environment Variables”. Click on the
“New” button to add a new entry to “System variables”. The new entry
is called “CYGWIN” and set the value to “ntsec tty”.
2.	While in the environment variables dialog, confirm that “Path” has
“c:\cygwin\bin” (or wherever you have put Cygwin’s bin/ directory) in
its definition.
3.	Run the following command in a Cygwin shell:

>ssh-host-config –y

If the script asks you about “privilege separation”, answer “yes”.
If the script asks about “create a local user sshd on this machine”,
answer “yes”
If the script asks you about “install sshd as a service”, answer “yes”
When the script asks you for “environment variable CYGWIN=”, answer “ntsec tty”
You may need to change the following permissions if error messages
instruct you to do so when using Cygwin install version 2.573.2.3:

>chmod +r /etc/passwd
>chmod +r /etc/group
>chmod o+x /var

4.	Confirm that windows will automatically start up the sshd service
on startup. Click on “Start”, “Run” and enter “services.msc” in the
“Open:” text box. Click “OK”. In the “Name” column, look for “CYGWIN
sshd”. Right click this entry and select “Properties”. In the “Startup
type” text box, it should show “Automatic”.
5.	Next, click on the “Log On” tab in the Cygwin sshd Properties
dialog box. Under “Local System account”, select the checkbox for
“Allow service to interact with desktop”. Press “OK” and exit the
“services.msc” window.
6.	Start the sshd service:

>cygrunsrv –S sshd
or
>net start sshd
----

How can I fix this problem?  I cannot SSH into my machine.

I can't comment on why you are having problems but setting the CYGWIN
environment variable to "ntsec tty" makes no sense at all.  If it really
was required the ssh-host-config would set it for you automatically.

Are there any clues in /var/log/sshd.log?

/var/log/sshd.log does not exist.

[mhallnh]

Has anyone been able to get CYGWIN sssd service to interact with the windows
desktop?
If yes, could you please reply with the configuration you used to get it to
work.

Thanks,

Mitch Hall
