after the default installation i had no passwd file and was getting errors. i ran 'mkpasswd -l > passwd' as i saw it on a website (looking for people with similar troubles)
and at least i have an /etc/passwd file now.
i still have a bunch of errors running ssh-host-config -y i hope you can give me some idea's of what i'm doing wrong.
namely:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:{35}:$ ssh-host-config -y
chown: `system.system': invalid group

Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3.
However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
For more info on privilege separation read /usr/doc/openssh/README.privsep.
net: not found
Warning: The following function requires administrator privileges!

Warning: Creating the user 'sshd' failed!
Warning: Can't create user 'sshd' in /etc/passwd!
Privilege separation set to 'no' again!
Check your /etc/sshd_config file!

Which value should the environment variable CYGWIN have when sshd starts? It's recommended to set at least "ntsec" to be able to change user context without password. Default is "binmode ntsec tty". CYGWIN=tty cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: OpenService: Win32 error 1073: The specified service already exists.
Host configuration finished. Have fun!
