Hi,

When running "$ ssh-host-config -y" after installing cygwin - for the firts
time - on a Win XP Pro SP3 machine, there are some problem that
occurs.Please see the output below. The Cygwin Setup.exe is v2.573.2.2.
If I run the "ssh-host-config " and leaving out the '-y', and answer 'no' to
the "Should privilege separation be used?" query, then the rest of the
config process works well, and I can start and use the sshd service.

How do I solve the warnings shown below, so I hopefully can make use of
separate privilege?
The Readme.privsep didn't help much.The commands listed in the file was not
found on the system(Most of them)

Thanks for your time and support!
