I installed sshd to run as a service by doing: > ssh-host-config -y > cygrunsrv -S sshd
This worked initially and I was able to ssh to my machine. However
several days later I noticed it was no longer working. Looking in the
windows services panel, the service was stopped so I tried starting it,
but it stopped immediately. So I tried running cygrunsrv -S sshd from a
shell and that exited with
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
So I did a search in the archives here and found out how to get a
system-owned prompt ('at <time+1> /interactive
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe'), from the system-owned prompt I ran
c:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat and then ran /usr/sbin/sshd.exe -D -d -d -d. That
started up just fine and I was able to ssh into my machine. I did note
that after logging out of the ssh session, sshd exited also. I'm not sure
if that's normal for the case of running sshd -D or not.
In any case, I'm now baffled as to why it won't run as a service. It
seems that the permissions must be right because using the system-owned
prompt I can run it just fine. Also, looking in the windows services
panel, for sshd the Log On is set as "Local System account".
The only 2 things I can think of that changed between when the initial
cygrunsrv -S sshd occurred and when it started failing is:
1) I rebooted the machine (maybe after being run during bootup something
happened?)
2) I installed apache2triad
This is on an XP laptop running SP2. Cygwin is very recent since I just
installed it last week. Info from cygcheck is attached.
Any ideas on either what is wrong or how to find out more info about what
might be wrong?
Thanks,
Dave
