That page is made by somebody that is not in the Cygwin team, it may be cor=
rect
or not (the points marked as "not necessary" by Thorsten are really not
necessary but they don't interfere) but you are asking the Cygwin list not =
the
author of that page, so:
Follow the instructions in C:\Cygwin\usr\share\doc\Cygwin\openssh.README, t=
hat
is the official documentation.
Other than that, look at your event log and see if there is any further
information about the failed service startup.
You mention "host-ssh-config", is that a typo? the script is named
"ssh-host-config". Its failure is very strange, perhaps you have a corrupt=
ed
installation, you are not using text mode, are you? (in setup you have to s=
elect
if Cygwin is installed for all users or not, text- or bin-mode, best result=
s are
with "for all" and "binmode (a.k.a. Unix)").
You should run ssh-host-config in debug mode (i.e. ssh-host-config -d) and =
see
what was the last thing it did, why did it exit? was there an error message?
