RE: Invoker question


Karl,
  I reread your message (and Robert's and Corinna's).  That's great
news.  Thank you for your research.
  I'm having zero problems with srvany or firedaemon.  Invoker doesn't
seem to like being started/stopped/re-started.  But other than that, I'm
golden.

Karl,
  I have never, with srvany or firedaemon, ever needed the "-D" option.
If you read the web page on invoker from the authors, Win2k is untested.
I attempted to set up sshd with invoker just as I have with srvany and
firedaemon and got the same error you were.  Honestly, I think it's a
Win2k compatibility issue because, even with the Win2k Service errors,
invoker DOES kick off sshd.  I can connect, but Win2k sees the service
as stopped.

Hi All...

I will now answer my own question.

sshd wants (I could hear it talk to me) the -D option to be provided
when 
run as a service (SrvAny, Invoker, ...) on WinNT/Win2000. The -D option 
prevents sshd from forking and detaching (which is a good thing in the
*nix 
world). Instead, the process stays under the control of the service
wrapper 
(SrvAny, Invoker, ...), so it can be stopped and started at will.

I have tested this with SrvAny. I believe it will resolve the problem I
had 
with Invoker as well. I will check it tomorrow.

Thanks,

...Karl
