Your first mistake was following directions from two sites that are not affiliated with Cygwin. I think the pigtail site even tells you not to ask for support on the Cygwin mailing lists if you use his instructions. Cygwin has excellent documentation for installing sshd right here: /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README in the folder where all of the Cygwin specific docs for packages are kept. The most important parts are these: "If you are installing OpenSSH the first time, you can generate global config files and server keys by running /usr/bin/ssh-host-config" and "You can create the private and public keys for a user now by running /usr/bin/ssh-user-config under the users account." -Jason -- NOTICE: This email is being sent in clear-text across the public Internet.
