Hi Ping: I'm really kind of glad that some program started in a
background shell cannot access my current-window-station clipboard.
That would play havoc with my normal windowing programs in general.
After all, I have no idea who logged into my PC with ssh. Should I
allow any and all that can imper
Thanks for all the responses. I appreciate the attention given to
ssh-host-config since this problem. One of my problems was that I was
semi-braindead when I ran it and selected yes to privsep when I meant
no. It would have been simpler, I think. Really, it it had at least
done chmod on the files t

Oh and I forgot the most intriguing gotcha. After creating the sshd
user for me (I went to service manager and discovered this) the user
assigned to the sshd server was actually cyg_server (not sshd)!
After changing all of those things the service started.

Okay, I figured out the whole issue. The script suggested
non-privleged user sshd as the service user. I allowed that and the
user was created. However the issues the script messed up are:
1) The account was never activated - "net user sshd /active:yes" had
to be run at the command line.
2) All of
Followup. I changed everything permissions on /var/empty, group name,
everything now matches your setup (except user name and RID). Still
fails with the same message.

The service control manager says sshd is the user and the password is

I am also having serious issues with sshd-host-config. I ran it right
from the command line, from the built-in administrator account. It
failed to start with no message in the Event Log. But, the
/var/log/sshd.log said none of the keys were properly secured and
refused them all. I chmod'ed them all
Yes, thank you.
That form of the syntax seems to work (at least on windows 8.1).
Thanks again.

So, does cygwin now support installing software via Redhat Package
Manager? Or is this RPM just a cross install tool just used for cygwin
on linux boxen?
I tried to build RPM many long moons ago when cygwin was young, but

My two cents say, since the child is not referencing 'fp' at all,
there is no violation of the POSIX semantics in this situation. It

Aye. That I see now. However, shouldn't autorebase.bat actually do
something? Or is it not like rebaseall? My guess is it's only trying
to rebase that specific file and failing. If that's so, I'm fine with
it.

That situation averted. I rebooted the PC into safe mode to try and
make repairs. But, apparently, just rebooting made all the bad files
and folders go away.
However, I have a new problem with postinstall autorebase.bat ...
It fails with exit code 1 - and prints that it can't find a dll.

I just downloaded the latest setup.exe from www DOT cygwin DOT com and

However, several errors began to popup in warning windows about files
