Hello,

Long time cygwin user, but first time trying to get sshd on a windows machine.

I've followed the instructions at http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html, and all seems fine until I test it:

~% ssh    $USERNAME AT 127 DOT 0 DOT 0 DOT 1
ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused

I'm pretty sure sshd is running, because if I try to start it I get:

~% net start sshd
The requested service has already been started.

My firewall is turned off.

I am on a VPN, if that makes any difference.

Also, my /etc/passwd has this line:

   sshd:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1006:513:sshd privsep,U-M-HOME\sshd,big-secret_number:/var/empty:/bin/false

Any advice?
