I am having trouble getting the sshd service to start on windows. I have read everything that I can on-line and on the cygwin archives, but I can't seem to find an answer. I am running windows XP. I installed cygwin, ran ssh-host-config -y, ssh-user-config -y (both from a user account in the Administrators group) and attempted to run cygrunsrv -S sshd only to get Win32 error 1062. Here is my cygcheck output.
