sshd never gets started, or never executes? IIRC "service starts" means that it does something magic within 30 seconds of getting executed; otherwise it gets registered as failed to start. That doesn't mean the program didn't run. As for invoker, I do not know what it does -- it could run just enough slower that the other service has a chance to start. You may of course be completely right, the problem could be elsewhere. Just make sure that's the case -- don't dismiss the possibility without trying. I probably can't help you much more as I haven't had this type of service start-up problem, only permission issues that were fairly trivial to solve. Try checking the multitude of permission-related issues people have solved and reported previously on this list. //lat -- Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream. --Malcolm Muggeridge -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
