Hi Antonio, I have had similar problems trying to run sshd on Windows 2003 (using cygrunsrv). (What OS version are you using?) I went through many troubleshooting tasks involving policies, permissions, etc. Ultimately, I am able to workaround the issue through the use of Windows' "runas" command. I Specify "Runas /user:domain\serviceaccount 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -...' ...sshd...". Only problem is that the sshd process seems to die if I logoff even though it's a background task running under another context. Either way, if you solve the problem, I would like to try the solution against our situation.
