Hi,

I've been having a few problems with sshd on win2k3.

I'm not using privilege separation and it's running as the local system 
account (as I don't need key authentication).  It runs but doesn't appear to 
listen.

So, I decided to check to see what the log files said.  I install sshd with 
the following:

$ cygrunsrv -I sshd -d "CYGWIN sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-e -D" -e 
"CYGWIN=ntsec tty" --stdout /var/log/sshd.out.log 
--stderr /var/log/sshd.err.log

I've added the -e argument for sshd, although this may not be necessary.

So, I would expect to see something (anything!) after starting in either 
sshd.out.log or sshd.err.log.  However, they are empty.

Adding 'LogLevel VERBOSE' has no effect.

Infact, I can add complete garbage to sshd_config and sshd continues to start 
asif nothing had happend.  And not work.

Any help would be appreciated.
