> Greetings all!
> 
> I have been banging against a problem for the past couple of days and I
> believe that I've exhausted all resources.  The problem in short is:
> I can't get sshd to run as a service on Windows Server 2003 (Win2K3)
> 
> The long story is this:
> I followed all directions as posted in the docs. I used
> "ssh-host-config" to do the initial configuration.
> 
> Prerequisits that were performed:
> - I am a local admin
> - The machine is on a domain, so I "mkpassword -l -d ..." and "mkgroup
> -l -d ..." for the environment beforehand
> - I ensured the machine had the latest patches (for Windows)
> - Ensured the the mount points for Cygwin were added under
> "LOCAL_MACHINE" (I chose "all users" during setup)
> 
> Actions followed:
> - Ran configuration app (ssh-host-config)
> - Options chosen were all "yes"
> - CYGWIN variables tried: ntsec tty (based on some reference found on
> the net)
> - Both the "sshd" and "sshd_server" accounts were created, sshd being
> disabled and "sshd_server" I enabled 'password does not expire' flag
> 
> At that time, I confirmed the service was created, which is was. I then
> tried to start it. The error I got was:
> "
> cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error
> 1053:
> The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely
> fashion.
> "
> 
> So, as a test, I used Windows' "runas" feature to log in as
> 'sshd_server'. (I did have to enable 'log on locally' for this account
> in the local policies.
> 
> - I performed "runas user:dcesap08\sshd_server c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat",
> which worked.
> - At the prompt, I ran "/usr/sbin/sshd -D". It worked!
> - I tested the server and was able to connect and authenticate!
> - I also tried "/usr/sbin/sshd". That worked, too!
> 
> Some other things I've looked at:
> - CYGWIN env variable has been used as system wide environment var as
> well as with "cygrunsrv -I ..."
> - I have installed the service manually with "cygrunsrv", still no
> difference.
> - I have used NT File Monitor for looking for file permission issues;
> none were found.
> - NT Registry Monitor also showed nothing interesting.
> - Ensured the 'sshd_server' user was added to the various policies: 'Run
> as service', 'Create token', 'Act as part of the OS'.. Many of these
> were already set, but I was just making sure.
> 
> So, here I stand. A very functional Cygwin install, a new server, and a
> bottle of frustration. If anyone has any pointers to a solution, then
> please let me know! In the meantime, I think I might just log in and
> manually run the server using 'runas'. We need this to work.
