Cygwin is installed with the initial option (in setup) to use UNIX file format and install for All Users. I have installed the following packages: . (1.10-1) cygrunsrv: NT/W2K service initiator . (4.1p1-2) openssh: The OpenSSH server and client programs . (0.9.8-2) openssl: The OpenSSL runtime environment . (0.9.7g-1) openssl097: The OpenSSL 0.9.7 runtime environment > what program you're trying to run as a service The service that fails to start is Cygwin sshd. > whether you set the permissions and ownership of files correctly I haven't changed permissions for any files, since usually when I install it on Windows XP this is not necessary. > created the proper user accounts The service is set to use LocalSystem account > nor the contents of the event log or the /var/log/*.log files; Sshd.log contains this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key Disabling protocol version 1.

"The" service? You haven't posted any details of what you're trying to do -- what program you're trying to run as a service, how you installed it, whether you set the permissions and ownership of files correctly, created the proper user accounts; nor the contents of the event log or the /var/log/*.log files; nor your cygcheck output. We are not mind readers, and the above error is just a generic "something is wrong." http://cygwin.com/problems.html Brian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
