Re: cygrunsrv -S sshd fails not started

hi, i just upgraded a puter to vista and i want to be able to run my cygwin localhost as i have in the past using this application:

ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh/SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe

(that's the most current version http://www.ssh.com/  i like
using these windows because of bad memories in the past of
having vi buffer lags i was told by a CIS instructor the the
problems go away with an ssh cxn he was right, and i connect
from my windows desktop to a number of remote unix servers always
using this same app.. it's sort of a preference and it makes
me feel good to accomplish running this)

anyway.. here is a website i have been trying to use to do
the same thing i remember doing on xp and windows 2000:

http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html

i got the information on how to start the sshd from similar (but
not this exact) websites in the past, and it has always worked fine.
i end up doing the steps in a cygwin window, and the later, when i
open the SSH Secure Shell Client app instead of putting in something
like "libra.sfsu.edu" i instead put in "localhost" and i get my
cygwin shell thru this app looking at my /cygdrive/c etc and can
do unix things on local files while running window.

i got past a burp needing to improve the administrative standing
of my cygwin window, that allowed me to do a diff command via that,
but i have yet to install the sshd allowing me to operate via the
sshd localhost cxn.

here is the latest error i have had:


kayve@kayve-PC ~ $ cygrunsrv -S sshd cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.


kayve@kayve-PC ~ $

(i tried following directions on a differnt website:

http://ncyoung.com/entry/389

here is some more cygwin command line output from earlier attempts:

kayve@kayve-PC ~
$ ssh-host-config
Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/ssh_config file
Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) yes
Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3.
However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
For more info on privilege separation read /usr/share/doc/openssh/README.privsep
.


Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/sshd_config file

Host configuration finished. Have fun!

kayve@kayve-PC ~
$ net start sshd
The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
