Hi Steve,
I well know that this is open source. I would really like to contribute but
don't have the skills to start. I was asking for an initial approach that I
could follow. I am not demanding everything should work out of the box...
...because that's my job. I made up a complete installer to setup a pre-.
defined portion of CYGWIN packages with SSH with public key auth with only
a double click. You can even remove it via the control panel. It works on
all Microsoft OSses from Windows 2000 as well as on 32 and 64 bits. All
that I have done by myself. I used shell script, AutoIT and NSIS. Yes, the
tools are there and as a sysadmin I can make things like this work. But if
a question arises, I would like being allowed to ask it. And get a normal
and polite answer to it. I was not asking anybody to do my work for me.
I came here only to ask for a way to get openSSH and the sshd working on
Domain Controllers, something that worked perfectly in the past but does no
longer.
Regards,
Christoph
