"/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world- > writable" - that's pretty clear, isn't it?! I've already recognized this message, but as I wanted to chown to root, I was told that there's no "root"-user in the system... Now I "chown"ed to myself:root and now it works -> sshd is up for one connection ("ssh localhost") and ends when closing the connection. Afterwards I "chown"ed /var/empty/ to SYSTEM:root and again tried to start sshd as a service, but same error-message as before -> did I come closer to the solution, now I know, that sshd works from commandline? thanks for your assistance michael -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
