I've recently installed cygwin on a Windows XP box. I followed the same procedure I have in the past but this time I received a number of errors. Here's what I did:
* Downloaded setup.exe from cygwin.com * Installed from the internet and selected emacs and OpenSSH to be installed * Started up a shell and typed ssh-host-config In the past I was nearly done at this point but this time I received the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ssh-host-config /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 23: /usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 466: csih_make_dir: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 471: csih_make_dir: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 489: csih_make_dir: command not found chmod: cannot access `/var/empty': No such file or directory setfacl: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 37: csih_inform: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 43: csih_inform: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 49: csih_inform: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 498: csih_check_program_or_error: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 502: csih_install_config: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 514: csih_install_config: command not found grep: /etc/sshd_config: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 130: csih_is_nt: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 65: csih_is_nt: command not found grep: /ssh-host-config.596/SERVICES: No such file or directory grep: /ssh-host-config.596/SERVICES: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 105: /ssh-host-config.596/SERVICES: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 115: csih_warning: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 270: csih_is_nt: command not found /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 528: csih_inform: command not found Consequently I went back to the setup.exe and install csih and diffutils (a step that previously was not required) and ran ssh-host-config again with the following result: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ssh-host-config *** Info: Creating default /etc/ssh_config file *** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file?

Exiting. I've tried changing the permissions on /var/run but the commands chgrp and chmod both produce no error but do not change the permissions either. I have attached the results of cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out as per the problem reporting guidelines. --Matt Kemmerer Software Engineer ICS www.washnet.com
