sorry, should have known better:

-----------------

 aimeMasdinso AT dindoze ~
$ ssh-host-config
Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/ssh_config file
Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) yes
Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3.
However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
For more info on privilege separation read /usr/share/doc/openssh/README.privsep
.

Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/sshd_config file

Host configuration finished. Have fun!

$ net start sshd
System error 3 has occurred.

The system cannot find the path specified.

i believe compile was the wrong word.  i remember when i did this successfully one of the yes/no questions refered to installing the sshd.exe file.  as you can see its not there

that sounds possible.  i tried removing everything called cygwin from the windows registry after i deleted cygwin from my disk to avoid this type of thing, but i guess that didnt work.
