[ssh-l] Running sshd service on XP

Hi all,

I've followed the instructions on the website for getting sshd up and
running on my WinXP machine. (ssh-host-config, cygrunsrv -I, and I did
setfacl as described in the XP notes.) I'm running the latest stable
version of Cygwin. I can start sshd from the command line and it works
fine. However, I can't seem to get it to start as a service.

>From the Services Windows application, it starts and immediately
stops. Using "cygrunsrv -S sshd", I get "cygrunsrv: Error starting a
service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not
been started".

I think the problem might be the permissions on the keys. I tried
doing a chown and chmod, but ls -l still reports that Administrator
owns the file instead of System. I opened the properties of the files
using explorer and removed everyone from the ACL except system, and
set the permissions to read and write only. Now when I do ls -l I get
755/Admin.

David

P.S. Bash seems to work okay for me, contrary to the XP notes...
