So ... a) cyg_server *is* in the Administrator group in Windows; and b) I ran the editrights commands just in case. Same deal. "CYGWIN sshd service could not be started".
Oddly, "groups cyg_server" returns "None root" -- cygwin doesn't think it's in the administrator group. thanks for your thoughts ... any further suggestions? ________________________________ From: marco atzeri-4 [via Cygwin] <ml-node+s1069669n95753...@n5.nabble.com> To: misterblinky <misterbli...@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 3:10 PM Subject: Re: sshd service will not start on Windows 7 On 1/29/2013 9:04 PM, Bernd Prager wrote: > On 1/29/2013 2:14 PM, misterblinky wrote: >> I installed cygwin on my windows 7 64-bit machine with openSSH and >> openSSL, >> nothing else. > Open Windows User Manager and check if cyg_server is in the > Administrators group. > My sshd does not start without this privilege. > Also I get a better error message if I do "net start sshd". > > Try it.
