Hi Pierre, > Have you tried running a really simple service under account > sshd_server, e.g. ones that simply executes /bin/env or > /bin/sleep 60 ?
I created a test service, using 'sshd_server' as the runner. The program is /bin/env. It did the same thing. - No log file was created - The status is: $ cygrunsrv -Q test Service test exists Type : Own Process Current State : Start Pending Controls Accepted : Accept Stop > Also does starting with "net start" give any useful hint? When I try to run it with "NET START ..." I get: $ net start test The test service is starting........ The test service could not be started. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3523. When I switch it to SYSTEM: " [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log $ cygrunsrv -S test cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log $ ls setup.log.full test.log [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log $ ls -al total 100 drwxrwx---+ 2 saitken Users 0 Jan 14 15:56 . drwxrwx---+ 7 saitken Users 0 Jan 11 15:22 .. -rwxr-x---+ 1 saitken Users 100878 Jan 13 17:03 setup.log.full -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administrators 864 Jan 14 15:56 test.log " Of course, it says it can't be started because 'env' exited immedately. But, the logfile was created. :0) I think this can be narrowed down into a general problem running 'cygrunsrv' on Windows Server 2003 under certain conditions. Since the machine was setup by someone else, I'm gonna try and get more info regarding security and policy configurations.
