Just to make sure that all the libraries are there (they should be): $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/cygz.dll /usr/bin/cygcrypt-0.dll /usr/bin/cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll Then check the output of: $ cygrunsrv -V -Q sshd Service : sshd Display name : CYGWIN sshd Description : sshd Current State : Running Controls Accepted : Stop Command : /usr/sbin/sshd -D stdin path : /dev/null stdout path : /var/log/sshd.log stderr path : /var/log/sshd.log Environment : CYGWIN="ntsec" Process Type : Own Process Startup : Automatic Dependencies : tcpip, syslog-ng Account : LocalSystem ----------------------^^^^^^^^^^^ Is the last field the same? if not, try re-installing with a "local" user (with Administrator or PowerUser privileges). -- René Berber -- 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/
