Re: setting up sshd on windows 7

[Anatoly Yakovenko <aeyakovenko at gmail dot com>]

So i ran sshd by hand, which gave me an obnoxious error about
/var/empty not being owned by root.  turns out it just needs to be
owned by the user running sshd.

after i was able to run it by hand with -d, i saw an error that
/bin/bash is not executable for my user.  I was able to fix this by
giving Everyone rwx access on my cygwin installation folder.  what a
pia.

any idea why when running it as a service i saw no logs in the Event
Viewer or in /var/log/sshd.log that indicated any of this?

When i had incorrect permissions in /var/empty, i got errors in the event viewer and /var/log/sshd.log, so i am think logging is working, but i am not sure its reading /etc/sshd_config.
