.. wanted to share this experience with you. - deleted user/account 'sshd' # net user sshd /delete - modified the last part (rid?) of the sid belonging to user/account 'sshd' in xxxx (in /etc/passwd) - rebooted Before reboot, I changed 'sshd' in an automatic service (was: manual) After the system had rebooted: - 'cygrunsrv -Q sshd' shows 'sshd' running ... - 'tail -f /var/log/sshd.log' shows 'sshd' listening ... - 'net user' shows user/account 'sshd' gone ... I can still use ssh ... (both password authentication and key authentication) Yes, if I remove user/account 'sshd' completely from /etc/passwd, only then 'sshd' won't start ...
