Issue with OpenSSH Server on Windows XP x64

[Marcus Rademacher]

Hello,

I'm having an issue getting the OpenSSH server to install and run on Windows XP x64. I'm 
using the latest version of Cygwin as of today. I get the following error:

"The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 1067 has occurred.

The process terminated unexpectedly."

I have tried it several different ways, with and without priv separation. Making the local 
account first, letting the ssh-host-config script make the account. I'm at a loss at this 
point. I'm able to install on Win XP 32-bit and Win 7 64-bit just fine, with no changes to 
the process. I have also tried on several Win XP 64-bit machines, and I get the same response.

I'm also aware that XP x64 is based on Server 2003, and when I put that in my search I do 
find other tips, but none of them seem to apply. I don't know if that is because they are 
based on older versions of Cygwin or if the script detects the OS and presents different 
questions to Server 2003.

I've also tried using the instructions at this page: 
http://www.kgx.net.nz/2010/03/cygwin-sshd-and-windows-7/

It's really for Windows 7, I know, but I thought I'd give it a try. No luck, I instead get 
an error 1069. It does seem that the issue may be similar in some way, namely that the 
user account running the service doesn't seem to have the proper privs.

So I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!
