Instead, I get > message "Error starting a service: Query service status: Win32 Error 1062" You can try opening the Services Control Panel app (run "start services.msc" in a Command Prompt) and changing the startup type of service "Cygwin sshd" to "Automatic (Delayed Start)". In theory, that was all you changed with your cygrunsrv command. > Is it practical to use "--type manual" with sshd, or are its security > restrictions too tight for this kind of installation?

I routinely stop sshd with "net stop sshd" and re-start it later with "net start sshd". If it's configure for manual startup, these commands should work just as well. > [...] or should I rerun > ssh-host-config? In cases where I have re-run ssh-host-config, I have first deleted the service with "sc delete sshd" as Administrator out of a desire not to confuse the config script with an existing service. But that may not be necessary. -- Fran -- 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
