starting smartd automatically

I have (in my very limited time with cygwin) noticed that some daemons (sshd, syslog-ng) are run as Windows services, and started at boot. I have installed smartmontools, and see that it has a more traditional (linux) installation. The smartd start script is in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. I am wondering

Would like to use vim-minimal if possible, but I am having an issue. The arrow keys work fine in command mode, but as soon as I change to input mode, pressing an arrow key inserts a letter (A, B, C, or D) and a newline. I haven't changed anything from the defaults. :) How do I fix this? --

What am I doing wrong with ssh?

Trying to configure ssh. Followed guides found on the internet (pretty much all the same). The problem comes when the script tries to create the user: *** Query: Create new privileged user account 'HOST\cyg_server' (Cygwin name 'host+cyg_server')? (yes/no) yes *** Info: Please enter a
