Oops! My mistake, ll is an bash alias I defined, its just "ls -alhF --color=tty" (actually is an alias that uses the alias ls is defined to, but I included what both aliases do for simplicity). > So I can't see the > I have syslog-ng running. Should I replace that by autossh? No, autossh is something else, I just kept it to show you how a Windows service looks, like the sshd.log you have. > Strange enough the file /var/log/messages could not be opened by Windows. > Tried with Textpad and Notepad.

No, just run the following to see if everything is running as expected: cygrunsrv -LV Note the "Account" for both sshd and syslog-ng. That usually is what gives problems. If both where installed using the Cygwin provided scripts, perhaps with some help as provided in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/<package>.README, then everything would work fine. My guess is that there is a difference, which creates the problem, and it will show in the output of cygrunsrv. If you send it to the list, we probably can spot the problem. -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
