Hi Team,
I'm facing below issue while trying to start CYGSSHD server. I'm running the
below command as an Administrator but not sure why cygsshd is not starting. Any
help?
--------------------------------------------------------------
$ net start cygsshd
The CYGWIN cygsshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN cygsshd service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

I saw the same problem.
The /var/log/sshd.log gave me the hint:
