Or it might not. To clarify the OP: I had this configuration working on a previous installation. To my knowledge they were the same versions of cygwin/openssh as what I'm running now. If they weren't the same versions, it couldn't be far off at any rate. I had to reload my OS from the ground up. I am now getting an error regarding not able to bind to any address. No, I did what /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README says to do (but took instruction from someone who actually knows how to write configuration documentation. The contents of openssh.README is certainly informative, but contains no true instruction. At least not how to configure the server process in an easy to follow format. That file says to use the ssh-host-config script, which I did. It installed a windows service, and just as your documentation suggests it is running sshd with the -D option (or so cygrunsrv -Q sshd suggests). I'm sorry but if you want folks to follow your "instructions" then perhaps you should improve them to be a bit more instructive. As for elaborating on the privilege separation issue, there seemed no need. I've determined through my own troubleshooting that it isn't the culprit. Or perhaps I should say I'm no longer getting an error message. But, to deal with the privilege separation issues I've tried two approaches. First, I fixed the ownerships on /var/empty to be system.system, that halted the error messages regarding privilege separation. Then I started getting the messages I pasted in my original post, about not binding to any address. I took the additional step to disable privilege separation altogether thinking that it may be causing some "behind the scenes" problems. That didn't help. > >> debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0. >> Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Bad address. >> Cannot bind any address. >> >> I've tried explicitly adding my IP address with the ListenAddress >> directive in the /etc/sshd_config file.

Yes, I have removed the other product from the system completely. I have ensured that no other cygwin1.DLL file is present on the system (aside from c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll). I did fail to mention in the OP that I had completely removed the other product, it is no longer causing conflicts. I included that information to show that I can get other versions of ssh/cygwin to work just not this particular combination on this particular installation of the OS for some reason. Also an excerpt of one of the event log entries for the failed service start attempt: The following information is part of the event: sshd: PID 2700: `sshd' service stopped, exit status: 255.
