Cannot run SSH


Hello,

In the past I have managed to install Cygwin and SSH on multiple computers. All of them are running fine and serving SSH just fine. So I am not that new to installing this stuff.

At the moment I am trying to run SSH on my Windows7 64. I know it is not tested and maybe not supposed to work at the moment. I actually installed and ran SSH successfully on this machine couple days ago when I have first installed Windows7. Yesterday it has stopped working so without any given reason. The only thing I can remember that might affect things is downloading the latest whatever version of cygwin setup.exe that was on Cygwin site yesterday. I did install couple apps like xemacs, command line task-todo app and I think I have upgraded the Openssh to the latest version. Up until that moment, the Ssh server was running alright. I am not sure if anything else has been updated during the installation. I tried "ssh-host-config -y", it did not resolve anything for me. I did fire "rm -R etc/ssh*", deleted the service and the users, started over. It did not lead to any success. I have actually deleted my "cygwin" folder since it was a new installation I just did not care about it, just to start fresh. After the fresh install I fired "ssh-host-config -y" in the commandline. It installed everything without a glitch but Ssh was not running successfully. Just to see if it would work on any other win7 installation, I did install windows7(32bit version) on a virtual machine(virtual box) and I installed the same Cygwin setup. This time without much itching the Ssh server started and worked well. So I am really not sure about what to make of this situation.

I have Windows Defender disabled and I do not run any virus-firewall application at the moment.

The sshd.log file under /var/log/ is empty(0 kb)


Here are some error messages


"$ net start sshd
The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

$ cygrunsrv.exe -S sshd
