Re: ssh-host-config problem on windows 2003, please help.


That would help but does it already come in a pre-packaged form of some sort? I ask because I have over 20 machines I will be doing this on and is stands right now I basically did a setup.exe and had it download to cygwin directory (but not install) and then put it back on the server to run from a local directory on setup so that the install goes smoothly and I know exactly what is going to be installed on my unattended machines.  If I only have this patch I would have to setup each machine and then put this script init and then run the ssh-host-config which means the fastet way right now would be just to have someone or something (automate) answer the silly questions for me.  Hmm.
