Cygwin 1.7.11-1
OpenSSH 5.9p1-1
syslog-ng 3.2.1-1

Dear Community,

I’m just started with Cygwin and want to run openSSH. I’m getting slowly furher with knowledge and success and had to install Cygwin therefore several times. I couldn’t setup the openSSH-config again (with the “ssh-host-config” cmd). the flow of the script looked quite good but the service wasn’t startable; I always got message “cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062”.
Now I can help by deleting the privileged user “cyg_server” from /etc/passwd before running “ssh-host-config”.
I can now logon locally to the server by issuing “ssh <userid>@localhost”. But Logon from remote system fails with permission denied for some reason and I would like to find out by writing messages to syslog. syslog-ng was running; I changed the sshd_config to LogLevel DEBUG3 but nothing happened to the log. So I tried to restart syslog-ng as well; stopped it with “cygrunsrv –E syslog-ng”  but starting failed with same error “cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062” as before sshd. But here is no user I can delete from /etc/passwd.
So I removed the service (cygrunsrv –R syslog-ng) and installed it again:

$ cygrunsrv -R syslog-ng

u005078 AT WS885383 ~
$ /bin/syslog-ng-config
Overwrite existing /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file? (yes/no) yes
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf has been renamed to /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.old.
Creating default syslog-ng configuration files in /etc/syslog-ng


Warning: The following function requires administrator privileges!

Do you want to install syslog-ng as service?
(Say "no" if it's already installed as service) (yes/no) yes

The service has been installed under LocalSystem account.
To start the service, call `net start syslog-ng' or `cygrunsrv -S syslog-ng'.

Check /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf first, if it suits your needs.

Configuration finished. Have fun!

u005078 AT WS885383 ~
$ cygrunsrv -S syslog-ng
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service was not started.


u005078 AT WS885383 ~
$ cygrunsrv -VQ syslog-ng

Then I tried to start it with the privileged user:

$ cygrunsrv -R syslog-ng

u005078 AT WS885383 ~
$ cygrunsrv -VQ syslog-ng

u005078 AT WS885383 ~
$ cygrunsrv -S syslog-ng
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service was not started.

And now I have no idea but to install the whole environment (Cygwin) again. 

I would appreciate to understand and fix whats going on here.

Ulrich
