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.
