RE: OpenSSH on Windows 2003 server

Hi Matthieu,

I tried installing ssh on windows 2003 however could not succeed.

I took following steps

1.Downloaded latest cygwin setup from Internet ( some site ..dont remember..i guess mirrors.rcn.net)
2.Installed cygrunsrv, openssh
3.Executed ssh-host-config
4.This asked me to create a new user for running sshd service under windows
5.I created the user , added it to admin group, gave enough privileges to this user to access all possible cygwin paths
6.Tried running "net start sshd"
7.Howevere every time got an error "Could not access cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll,file not found".However this file lies in c:\cygwin\bin and I have set all paths right

could u please put your remarks

Or else please point me to the latest workable "cygwin setup binaries" and if you have some documented procedure of ur tests, would help!

thanks
Smita

Thanks for your answer Stephen,

I will try to reinstall from scratch, creating users before!

This is time consuming, so do not expect a report in a too short time...

In the meantime I also tried to replace cygwin1.dll as it is reported in
one another mail of the list that it could be the reason of a
disconnection after a successfull login: no effect.

I really think that as you are saying, I have to adapt users and rights
on Windows. The problem is to find exactly how...
