Hello,
I have recently setup cygwin sshd on Win7, Win2k3, and Win2k8 no issue.
Run setup, add sshd package, install. Run cygterm as Administrator, ssh-host-config, setup ssh keys.
 
However installing cygwin sshd on Vista is running into the following problem:
** Info: Generating /etc/ssh_host_key
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config: line 73:  2464 
Segmentation fault      (core dumped) /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f ${SYSCONFDIR}/ssh_host_key -N '' > /dev/null
*** Warning: Generating /etc/ssh_host_key failed!

In fact any call to ssh-keygen –t rsa fails.
 
Windows Vista Enterprise SP1 (vmware ESX 4.1 virtual machine, x86, 1g ram)
Cygwin 1.7.16-1
OpenSSH 6.1p1-1
Openssl1.0.1c-2

Any tips?
Thanks
-Nate
 
ps; Vista is still required for the test environment platform coverage, not my choice of OS.
