Well, that's exactly what I'm doing here: I set CYGWIN before the
shell script ssh-host-config gets started. I tested it and it works
fine.

During my tests I noticed that cygrunsrv, invoked by
ssh-host-config, has to run as administrator. Otherwise you get an
"Access denied" exception. I think this information could be
provided in the README as well.

To summarize what I did:

1. Start a bash as Administrator (on Win2k I did it with
shift right-click "Run as..." on the bash icon).

2. Setup sshd configuration files and service:
$ CYGWIN=3Dntsec /usr/bin/ssh-host-config -y

3. Start sshd service:
$ net start sshd

Voil=E0.=20

Btw: There is a proposal attached to make ssh-host-config -y really
non-interactive.

Daniel.
