Re: Cygwin 1069 logon error
The password should be the actual password of the root account on the
Windows computer. The quotes around the password are only necessary if
it contains special characters.
It looks like your cygwin-sshd-config.sh contains Windows line breaks.
You'll see the 'unexpected token {\r' error when this is the case. This
will happen in some circumstances if you save it under Windows. The
file must only contain Unix line breaks in order to work. Run this
command on the Windows computer in the Cygwin shell then try to run the
script again:
dos2unix /home/root/cygwin-sshd-config.sh

wasn't sure if PASSWORD was suppose to be the actual root password I
use to logon to my Windows XP virtual machine or a new password

forms that the password to run sshd should be at least 5 - 8 characters
and alphanumeric. If this is so than my Windows XP root password does
not meet that criteria.
Also, when I try to simply run the command again i get this error message;

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Your input is greatly
appreciated...
Re: Cygwin 1069 logon error
Ok, the command dos2unix /home/root/cygwin-sshd-config.sh allows me to run
the script without the 'unexpected token {\r' error. However I still get the
error message 'System error 1069 has occurred. The service did not start due
to a logon failure. I have changed my Windows root password to an
alphanumeric password but I get the same message...
Re: Cygwin 1069 logon error
Actually guys, I have found the problem. For some strange reason, when trying to start the script from cywgin, the root password is altered. If I start the service from the windows control panel under 'services' and change the log-in properties of the cygwin sshd service, I see that the password is incorrect. After correcting the password, I am able to successfully start the service ONLY from the 'service' control panel. I was also able to ssh into the Windows image from my management node so that indicates the cygwin sshd service is working correctly. Thanks again for all your help guys, I will probably be back before you know it with more questions :)
