@Raj, please follow instructions at http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html and then the instructions here. That should get you on the way as it’s pretty detailed (on Fong’s site).

Many thanks to Karuna for helping out with this issue. The only other thing I needed to do was to open the Windows firewall (Thanks, Tom!)

Hi Guys, I just want to share my experience. I answer to all the questions yes, but when I being asked for “Do you want to use a different name?”, I said yes and use an existing administrator windows account.

In that way it works for me with my windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

Cygwin 1.7.9
Win2008R2 server and it’s also domain controller.

First I tried using other user as Administrator:
Error in openPolicy (LsaOpenPolicy returned 0xc0000022=STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)!

If you get
0xc0000022=STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)!
then use user administartor to install.
I have win2008r2, it’s also domain controller.
cygwin 1.7.9, passwd file is done by setup = domain users.

I have done (needed or not ?)
$ cyglsa-config
using administator cygwin session.

Install
$ cron-config
and
Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) no

$ ssh-host-config
using user administrator.
cron and ssh works fine for every domain users.

Thanks so much — I use putty to ssh into localhost on my windows machine all the time since putty has much better scrollback, cut&paste, etc than cmd.exe. One day they changed something on our domain server at work and sshd service wouldn’t start any more. Your instructions above fixed the issue, with one footnote. When I tried it with “privilege separation” in ssh-host-config it still failed. But saying ‘no’ to privilege separation made it all work. Thanks again!

Try reinstalling openssh and tcp_wrappers packages. Also make sure that C:\cygwin\bin is in your path.
