The "system log" the manual refers to is not the one you are looking at, its /var/log/messages and is only active if you installed and use syslog (I prefer syslog-ng). > I executed the commands > > $ cygrunsrv -E sshd > $ /usr/sbin/sshd -ddde And there you are creating the problem... or another problem: the service runs as a special user, when you run it yourself its running as your user so, if it works, that means you have permissions set to run as your user not the service user. Did that made sense? or I managed to make something simple into some obscure fact. The usual fix for what I described is to run the service installation again, it should complain about the permissions so you can fix them. -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
