Hello,

I have been unable to start sshd as a service with a Vista Home Basic 
installation. It works fine for my Vista Premium install, and several XP 
Pro installations. Have you heard of any Vista Home Basic issues? I have 
installed cygwin as an administrator and use the supplied 
ssh-host-config script.

I receive several different errors, 1062 and 1069 being most common. I 
have tried with and without privilege separation. Running sshd -d - d -d 
-D indicates that /var/empty must be "owned by root and not group or 
world-writable" - as far as I can tell, ssh-host-config should have set 
those permissions correctly. Changing them myself with chmod or through 
Vista does not seem to fix the problem, although it is entirely possible 
that I have the wrong permissions set.

Thanks for any help,
Bing
