Re: ssh-host-config hangs


Running in debug, it is hanging on the following. I'm an admin user on Windows XP SP3 32-bit.

*** STACKTRACE: main[557]->install_service[334]->csih_check_user[1701] returning with 0
+ '[' -n ntsec ']'
+ cygwin_env=(-e "CYGWIN=${csih_cygenv}")
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ cygrunsrv -I sshd -d 'CYGWIN sshd' -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a -D -y tcpip -e CYGWIN=ntsec
