I also observed this, even with UAC (User Account Control) deactivated. Windows explorer reports that some files are read-only. With Explorer's GUI, one can un-check the read-only property and tell Explorer to set this for all child folders and files, but after this they were still read-only. Very strange. Same solution helped (I did a chmod -R u+rw g+rw). -- 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/

You must give the files the correct ownership and access rights: In cygwin, issue: cd / chmod og+w /tmp touch /var/log/sshd.log chown system:system /var/log/sshd.log /var/empty /etc/ssh_h* chmod 755 /var/empty Define the service with the command cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd Start the service by cygrunsrv -S sshd Stop the service by cygrunsrv -E sshd Hope this helps. -- Wilfried Hennings -- 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/

Perhaps some antivirus software?
Also have a look in
(windows') control panel - administration - event viewer - application
Any entries for sshd?
Any error entries?
In cygwin/etc, is there a file named "hosts.allow" ?
It should be there and contain a line
sshd: ALL
or a list of allowed hosts, see e.g.
http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl5_hostsal.htm

Did you issue all these command while having windows administrator
rights? The service can only be installed while logged in with
administrator rights.
The sshd service should also be displayed in Windows' services list.
(following is my translation to English, maybe it's actually named
differently, but I haven't access to an English WinXP:)
Control panel - administration - computer administration - services and
applications - services
It shows as
service name: sshd
start type: automatic
status: ended
You can also look in to the task manager.
It should show up as sshd.exe with user "SYSTEM".
(Also with admin rights) open a command prompt ("DOS box") and enter
netstat -a
It should display
TCP computername:ssh computername:0LISTENING
Repeat this after making a local connection.

Four, all the same. How many entries of sshd do you have after a restart of your computer? If it's more than one, you should clean up the registry from all entries pointing to sshd and then re-install the service. -- Wilfried Hennings -- 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/

To print via notepad, you need to write the output of "ls -l" to a file then print this file via notepad. Next problem: I have set up cygwin to use unix style line endings as default.

I had tested my script and it worked for me. I agree that just 5 parameters may be not enough. But there is no need to put the sleep command in. I had the impression that the script waited until the cygstart command was finished. But even if not -- Notepad loads the file completely into memory and then releases the file handle, so one can delete the file while notepad is still open.

Thanks for your answer, I have just tested SetConsoleCtrlHandler and it seem to work (I started from MSDN example). I am playing with signals since yesterday, and I have noticed one "problem" (this's really a problem ?) with signal handling, when my binary crash (... I can not say when and why, sorry), it will not be enable to caught any signals until I restart my computer (maybe closing my session can do the same result). Is it normal ?

Problem with cygwin1.dll after update
Hi,
I built a very simple program with g++ : int main() { return 0; }
from cygwin it always returns 127, and if I try to start it from cmd I have
the following message :
"the procedure entry point _feinitiliase could not be located in the dynamic
link library cygwin1.dll"
I tried to remove cygwin1.dll and reinstall it, but the result is the same.
Thank you,
Wilfried.
