Starting sshd with ipv6 address only


Hi,
I'm running cygwin under Win XP, but I cannot get sshd to listen only on ipv6 address. I've installed sshd as a service with "cygrunsrv -I sshd --path /usr/sbin/sshd.exe -a -6" (in order to force sshd to use only IPv6 address), and I've modified sshd_config with "ListenAddress <host's ipv6 global address>". But when I try to start sshd "process unexpectedly terminates", and in /var/log/sshd.log it says "bad addr or host: <host's ipv6 global address> (no address associated with host name)."


What could have gone wrong? Any help would be mostly appreciated.
