Re: Run ssh-host-config fails and is looking for diffutils

I can not install Cygwin SSH daemon. I run the following command and receive

run ssh-host-config

Could not find or execute required program cmp
Please install diffutils

- I am installing on Windows 2003 server.
- I am logged on as local admin.
- I just downloaded the latest cygwin setup.exe from www.cygwin.com
- I have the files installed on my F:\cgywin with folder permissions:
Administrators and System with Full Control
- Cygwin version 1.90.4.1

Huh? There is no such version.


I installed cygwin twice and was looking for any mention of diffutils and
cmp in the packages but I couldn't see them.

I have read the README files but they all assume I have gotten past the run
ssh-host-config.

Where can I download the diffutils?
Where should I put these files and is there something I need to do to the
diffutils before I attempt to run ssh-host-config?
What is cmp?

Re-run 'setup.exe' and click on the "View" button until it reads "Full". Then scroll through the list of packages until you find "diffutils". Select on "Skip" once to change it to the current version to install. Hit "Next" to install it.
