[I'm reposting this with a couple of corrections/clarifications and  
also to raise its visibility since I didn't get any responses last  
time :-)]

It's been a month since Larry Hall replied to my last post on this  
topic (thanks, BTW), and this issue has bubbled up to the top again.   
I have tried various ways to get the sshd service started as a domain  
user (instead of the default local user "sshd_server") and can not  
get it to work.  What is the correct syntax to specify a domain user  
with cygrunsrv?  This is what I have tried:

   cygrunsrv -I sshd -u "DOMAINNAME\USERNAME" -w PASSWORD -d "CYGWIN  
sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a -D -e "CYGWIN=bin tty smbntsec" -y tcpip

This successfully installs the service, and if I look at it in the  
Services control panel, it shows the correct username (DOMAIN 
\USERNAME), but if I try to start the service I always get the error  
"The Cygwin sshd service in Local Computer started and then  
stopped".  If I substitute sshd_server for the user and supply the  
correct password, the sshd service starts correctly.  But I want to  
start the service as a domain user so that I can access network  
shares and resolve some build issues with Visual Studio that are  
apparently caused by not being fully authenticated.

Alfred
