Description David Fisher 2004-06-12 14:40:39 AEST

Ran ssh-host-config to install sshd service again after manually deleting the 
service.  Sshd never worked right again, 'net start sshd' fails, 'sssh -D -d -
d -d' fails, '/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start' fails.  File permissions.

Deleted cygwin installation and reinstalled.  Ran ssh-host-config, sshd 
worked.  Deleted sshd service and ran ssh-host-config again, sshd stopped 
working.

ssh-host-config was updated for the 3.9 release:

date: 2004/09/21 11:35:56;  author: dtucker;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1
 - (dtucker) [contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config] Update to match current Cygwin
   install process.  Patch from vinschen at redhat.com.

It looks like it might resolve the problem you reported (ssh-host-config is a
contributed file).

As I mentioned in my previous comment I believe this is fixed, please reopen the bug if this is not the case.
