Thanks in advance for your help For ssh, have you seen e.g. http://www.noah.org/ssh/cygwin-sshd.html ? I haven't done that in a long time, but have used cygrunsrv to run a buildbot server in cygwin for some time. The line I use to create a service is: # Must use "run as administrator" to run the cygwin terminal that runs this script! cygrunsrv -I buildmaster-$projname --path /bin/sh --args "$SRC/bmaster.sh run $projname" I didn't have to do anything funny with networking. - Dan -- 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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

If you've followed this mailing list for any length of time you'd notice that we don't really endorse the instructions from random other web sites. They are often out-of-date and contain needless instructions. This web site is no exception. The CYGWIN= suggestion is wrong. Just use the instructions from /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README Btw, Corinna, this file suggests setting ntsec. That likely should just be deleted. cgf -- 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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

They are often out-of-date and contain needless instructions. What's the prevailing thought on a wiki (presumably one set up like the glibc one, by invite only, to avoid spammers)? I found various posts on this list over the years, but no obvious interest. > Just use the instructions from /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README That file is not very easily discovered (despite the FAQ entry that explains that convention). Can you add a link to an static index of all those files from http://cygwin.com/docs.html ? That might make googling openssh server cygwin more likely to find it.

Wow, thank for the reminder. I didn't change that file for ages. I ripped off any unneeded stuff now and only describe how to set up the host and user config, as well as how to build with cygport. I sent a patch upstream, so this will be available in the next OpenSSH version.
