ssh-host-config script fails

[Matt Kemmerer]

I've recently installed cygwin on a Windows XP box. I followed the same
procedure I have in the past but this time I received a number of
errors. Here's what I did:

* Downloaded setup.exe from cygwin.com
* Installed from the internet and selected emacs and OpenSSH to be
installed
* Started up a shell and typed ssh-host-config
In the past I was nearly done at this point but this time I received the
following error:

Administrator@ics-dp35xppro ~

$ ssh-host-config

/usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 23:
/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh: No such file or

/usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 270: csih_is_nt: command not found

/usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 528: csih_inform: command not found

Consequently I went back to the setup.exe and install csih and diffutils
(a step that previously was not required) and ran ssh-host-config again
with the following result:

Administrator@ics-dp35xppro ~
$ ssh-host-config

*** ERROR: Problem with /var/run directory. Exiting.

I've tried changing the permissions on /var/run but the commands chgrp
and chmod both produce no error but do not change the permissions
either.

I have attached the results of cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out as per
the problem reporting guidelines.
