I have tried various ways to get the sshd service started as a domain user (instead of the default local user "sshd_server") and can not get it to work. What is the correct syntax to specify a domain user with cygrunsrv? This is what I have tried: cygrunsrv -I sshd -u "DOMAINNAME\USERNAME" -w PASSWORD -d "CYGWIN sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a -D -e "CYGWIN=bin tty smbntsec" -y tcpip This successfully installs the service, and if I look at it in the Services control panel, it shows the correct username (DOMAIN \USERNAME), but if I try to start the service I always get the error "The Cygwin sshd service in Local Computer started and then stopped". If I substitute sshd_server for the user and supply the correct password, the sshd service starts correctly. But I want to start the service as a domain user so that I can access network shares and resolve some build issues with Visual Studio that are apparently caused by not being fully authenticated.
