Sorry about that - I forgot to check the "reply-to" setting for this mailing
list (most of the lists I use regularly have reply-to set to the list rather
than the poster. I've just recently learned why many list administrators
see that as a bad idea, and I agree with that - yet I *still* managed to
forget it).
It turns out that what I had to do was install the service with
cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-D"
I also changed ownership of /var/empty to SYSTEM, but I don't think that was
the problem (since the directory was world writeable, and I also have been
running without ntsec).
I'm not too worried about security here, since the company's internal
network is pretty well protected from the outside, and I know that if I
can't figure things out, then there is no one else in our company who can!
mvh.
