[ssh-l] [repost] unable to start sshd service on Win XP

I'm reposting this as I didn't get any replies and I'm not sure if it went
to the list or not. Anybody have any clues?

Ok, I've got the latest Cygwin packages, including all the OpenSSH stuff.
I can run SSHD manually, but can't get the service to start using
cygrunsrv. It seems a bunch of people are having this problem on the
list, and I tried a few things to no avail.

I've followed the directions here
(http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.asp) for the most part, except that
I'm using passwords instead of keyfiles for now. I can ssh to localhost
or from a remote host as long as I started sshd manually.

When I try to start the service using 'cygrunsrv -S sshd', I get this:

cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error
1062:
The service has not been started.

If I use the Services applet, XP tells me "The Cygwin SSHD service on
Local Computer started then stopped."

I couldn't find a log with any useful error messages.

Does anyone have any ideas?

thx
