[Novalug] Problems with Cygwin and SSHD

[Adam Portier]

I just had to do this at work. There is a section in there about making sure
the ssh application files are owned by the user "system". I had to do this
on one of the boxes because the service would not start.

chown system /etc/ssh*
chown system /var/empty  or chown sshd_server /var/empty
net start sshd

I used this same guide and I got it working. Best of luck.
