Friends,

I just thought sharing the issues I faced while setting up sshd on cygwin.

All went well till I executed
  $ cygrunsrv -S sshd

I got a message
"The procedure entry point _ctype_ could not be located in the dynamic link
library"

Upon searching cygwin maillist
and doing things as suggested
i reached a mail asking to check cygwin by
  $ cygcheck -s -v

to my supprise I found another "cygwin1.dll" (1998 version)
on my system installed by "CheckPoint VPN SecureClient"

And it come in PATH before C:\cygwin\bin

I rearranged position of all Cygwin dir in the PATH variable.

rebooted PC and my sshd start working fine.
as a bonus I got similar issue with postgresql also got resolved

Cheers
Biju

believe they proclaimed the "End of DLL Hell" a few years back, realized
they failed, and starting calling that a feature of every Windows version
since.  What a joke the MS marketing people are!

I will jointly blame CheckPoint VPN SecureClient for this
They installed cygwin1.dll at 
   c:\PROGRA~1\CHECKP~1\SECURE~1\bin\cygwin1.dll 

even though I have latest version of cygwin at
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll

I feel Cygwin must insist others (the companies who use 
cygwin in their prouct) should use cygwin setup to install
official cygwin components!!!

I wasted more than a day for this reason.
While i installed postgresql, i finaly gave up 
assuming i made mistake.

when i installed sshd, i was 100% sure i followed
http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshdtest.html
And as I was particular in getting it fixed
I started searching archives !!!

I was unable to do X11 Forwarding.
If any body tried weirdmind or WeirdX, pl. let me know.
