Re: SSHd configuration problems (System error 1376)


Hi Ken!

I followed your advise:
1) Reinstalled windows again
2) Started setup_x86-64.exe from cygwin web site
3) Changed two things in the package list:
 a) Changed version of package cygwin to 1.7.34.003
 b) Marked package "ssh" to be installed
4) After installation started terminal (icon right click -> run as admin)
5) Typed "ssh-host-config -y"
6) Copied the output and attached to this e-mail

The same problem as before:
  System error 1376 has occurred.
  The specified local group does not exist.
  Adding user 'cyg_server' to local group 'root' failed!

:-(

By the way, very first message is quite funny: "it seems your account does not have these privileges". According to windows UI my account (the only one on this fresh installed machine) is an administrative one.

Cheers,

Ilya Dogolazky
