Dear Corinna, Thank you very much for your reply! I'm very sorry but I was not able to find online the official cygwin documentation of sshd (probably it's my fault); moreover, at the beginning, i was only trying to get openssh working; then ,googling around, I found nfong site describing how to get an ssh server service working and just followed instructions; I already wrote to nfong and he also kindly replied once, but sshd still doesn't work. If i understand your suggestion is to uninstall cygwin and restart everything from the beginning, isn't it? I was thinking the same; the only problem is that nfong, in his guide, said >>(3) Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Environment Variables >>See this illustration (red dots). >>Click the "New" button to add a new entry to system variables: >>variable name is CYGWIN >>variable value is ntsec tty >>(4) Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Environment Variables >>See this illustration (green dots). >>Select the Path variable and click the "Edit" button: >>append ;c:\cygwin\bin to the end of the existing variable string. >>(5) Open a cygwin window (by double clicking theg icon), a black screen pops >>open, type >>ssh-host-config >>When the script asks you about "privilege separation be used", answer yes. >>When the script asks about "local user", answer yes. >>When the script asks you about "install sshd as a service", answer yes >>When the script asks you for "CYGWIN=", >>your answer should be ntsec tty Should i eliminate the variables created of point 3) and 4)? what is the real answer to the last question of ssh-host-config? Finally, is it true that I have to add an exeption for port 22 in the firewall? again thank you very much bye giuseppe -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
