I'm trying to set up ssh (ie. openssh) on cygwin, with not much success.
 Searching the mailing list did not help either.

I've downloaded it, installed it, run ssh-host-config, answered all yes.
I *CAN* ssh from windows to a linux box in my lan.
But, my windows box fails as a ssh server.
Not even ssh localhost works.

Here's the full info:

---------------------------------------

I also tried running ssh-user-config and created all authentications,
with my password as pass phrase.  Still no go.  And when doing that, ssh
complains that all the files are invalid, with tons of errors, which
from other emails I've gathered as "normal".

----------------------------------------

More info:
- cygwin is installed on a FAT partition of a WinXP (SP1) box, with
latest patches.
- Windows is a Spanish version of it.
- I have at least one user without a password.  I've also gone and
modified the ssh configuration file to add in sshd_config:
     PermitEmptyPasswords no
- I've synced passwd and groups with mkpasswd -l and mkgroup -l.
- I'm running under a firewall (not the XP one), but I've switched it off.


Can anyone help?
