Well, for me it didn't work. Here's exactly what I do after a fresh Cygwin
installation to get it running:
- setup ssh:
- set environment variable CYGWIN to "ntsec tty" (Control Panel/
System/Advanced/Environmental Variables)
- call "ssh-host-config -y" in a cygwin window --> creates a user "sshd"
- chown SYSTEM /etc/ssh_host_* /var/empty
- net start sshd
- try to login with "ssh localhost"
So for me it seems as sshd is installed as service but this last check somehow
fails.
