Re: ssh-host-config hanging


Guys, I managed to get it working right by running ssh-host-config -y

Still seems like a bug as to why it would lock up....

Thanks,
Nick

Subject: ssh-host-config hanging



I'm setting up OpenSSH on Win2008 x64. I've done this same process numerous times on other Windows x86 servers with no problems. First, I install cygwin with OpenSSH. Start the bash shell, and run:

chmod +rw /etc/passwd
chmod +rw /etc/group
chmod 755 /var

Then, I start the ssh-host-config program. Whenever it gets to the question "Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: []" it locks up. Not sure where to go from here. Thanks for your help. Below is the output:

$ ssh-host-config
