Hi,

I'm trying to set up sshd (openssh 3.4p1-4) with privilege
separation on Windows 2000 Professional.  I used 'ssh-host-config -y'
to create the necessary configuration files and the sshd user.

When trying to start sshd afterwards with 'cygrunsrv -S sshd', I
get the following error message:

cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
Der Dienst wurde nicht gestartet.

/var/log/sshd.log shows: Privilege separation user sshd does not exist

The user exists and is in /etc/passwd.  Any clue what could be
wrong?

-Stefan
