Definitely no sshd on FAT32?

[Ian Brandt]

Hi,

I've been going through the archives and elsewhere, but just want to 
verify that I'm not missing anything.  Is it definitely *not* possible to 
run sshd with cygwin installed on FAT32?

I set CYGWIN to just "tty" when installing the service with 
ssh-host-config, since according to the Cygwin docs "ntsec" is ignored on 
FAT32 volumes.

I'm getting the following in /var/log/sshd.log when trying to start...

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I tried chmod on the keys, but in accordance with the Cygwin docs it 
silently does nothing...

/etc$ chmod go-r ssh*key
/etc$ ls -al ssh*key
-rw-r--r--    1 ibrandt  None          672 Mar 23 09:23 ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-r--r--    1 ibrandt  None          536 Mar 23 09:23 ssh_host_key
-rw-r--r--    1 ibrandt  None          887 Mar 23 09:23 ssh_host_rsa_key


Thanks,

Ian
