thanks for answering, well I tryed and that's the answer: $ cygrunsrv -S sshd cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: win32 error 1053 if i try to stop the service i get $ cygrunsrv -S sshd cygrunsrv: Error stopping a service: QueryServiceStatus: win32 error 1053 if i try to start again the error number changes from 1053 to 1062 $ cygrunsrv -S sshd cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: win32 error 1062 I remind that I installed the last( 1 week ago) version of cygwin on a machine running windows xp professional with service pack 2. I simply installed cygwin with the setup utility and confidurate ssh using ssh-host-config answering always yes.
