I downloaded the openssh package and installed. I added the CYGWIN="ntsec tty" EV to Windows I executed ssh-host-config, answering yes to each option. I executed "net start sshd" I imported the windows passwords using "mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd" and "mkgroup --local > /etc/group", although the mkgroup command didn't work because of an access rights problem. This should import my Windows password, right? I then started sshd using "net start sshd", and it starts up: The CYGWIN sshd service is starting. The CYGWIN sshd service was started successfully. I then stopped sshd, and tried starting it manually, using "/usr/sbin/sshd -d -e -D", to attempt to view logging whole using "ssh localhost", and I get the message: debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.4p1 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. Could not load host key Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting. Have I missed something?
