I have now fixed the problem, and successfully installed sshd as an
automatic service on both of our win2k domain controllers.  The problem
was that I had not included the path of cygwin1.dll in the PATH
environment variable of the owner of the service.  After rebooting the
machines, sshd worked immediately.

The problem with this solution is that running sshd from inetd is
really slow.  In the manpage for sshd it states that if started from
inetd, sshd will be slow because it has to generate the server key
before it can respond to the client (and this takes a long time).

What do you mean by saying that using inetd is is now my only option ?
Is this because the patch is not available ?  Can you please clarify ?


Thanks a lot for your help thus far.
