I noted that a lot of people are having trouble getting the sshd service to start automatically. I think I discovered a problem.
Run services.msc and selecting sshd) there is a "Path to executable" field that currently says :"C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe" Based on looking at some other entries like "automatic updates which use C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs", I believe it should say: C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe -S sshd otherwise the application cygrunsrv has no idea what service to start. Microsoft says it's up to the developer to provide a mechanism to do so. "net start" sshd works. Currently someone has to log in after a boot and type the command. The suggestion of running a batch file containing "net start sshd" has been suggested to run automatically after a user logs in but was not tried. This would require a user logging in. Features of cygrunsrv I'd like to see: A method of changing the Path variable reported by services.msc. A method of changing the options presented to sshd reported by services.msc.
