It is indeed removed. There is no ”Cygwin sushi” service any more. I now installed the Windows 10 OpenSSH Server, which was not installed by default. I could not get it up and running either. I refuses to use the host key.

I have executed the Repair-SshdConfigPermission -FilePath C:\ProgramData\ssh\ssh_host_ed25519_key which says ”looks good” but

ssh-add C:\ProgramData\ssh\ssh_host_ed25519_key complaints WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! and ssh does not start.

But that is not a Cygwin issue anyway…

I would prefer Cygwin ssh to get more Linux like experience, but WIn10 ssh will do if I only manage to start it…
