Subject: cygrunsrv sshd fails: Some clues
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hello,

I saw in the archives that a guy with a Win2k machine had intermittent 
failures of the sshd service (failure to start).

I get the exact same errors in my event log, just that it fails every time. 
I'm running WinXP Pro.

Here's what I tried:

- Set the service to restart at first, second, and subsequent failures
  -> Service does not start up. Only the initial error message is entered 
into event log
   Which could mean it is never restarted, or XP only logs the first 
failure. Hmm. I shall set subsequent to 'start program' and see what happens.

- Removed the enivronment key from parameters, as was suggested in a post 
elsewhere (found through deja). No change.


I can start sshd manually successfully every time. This leads me to 
conclude that:

Since sshd is restarted every second on failure (if that is what happens):
- The failure has nothing to do with dependencies
- The failure has nothing to do with sshd being started early on in the 
boot process

Since I can start it manually
- The environment for a service being started manually must be different 
from being started by the system, somehow

Hope this helps narrow it down!

Shawn
