Well, that's exactly what I'm doing here: I set CYGWIN before the
shell script ssh-host-config gets started. I tested it and it works
fine.
During my tests I noticed that cygrunsrv, invoked by
ssh-host-config, has to run as administrator. Otherwise you get an
"Access denied" exception. I think this information could be
provided in the README as well.
To summarize what I did:
1. Start a bash as Administrator (on Win2k I did it with
shift right-click "Run as..." on the bash icon).
2. Setup sshd configuration files and service:
$ CYGWIN=ntsec /usr/bin/ssh-host-config -y
3. Start sshd service:
$ net start sshd
Voilą.
Btw: There is a proposal attached to make ssh-host-config -y really
non-interactive.
Daniel.
