Ok I introduced your changes and I was able to complie SSHD.EXE.
Unfortunately it dosen't work. When I checked with WinTOP the proccess is
still NOT listed as a service.
This is a show stopper for me. For example if I am using SSHD on a machine
while the user is also on the machine and for some reason the user desides
to logout, then SSHD dies and my session with it... worse I can no loger get
back in since SSHD is dead! So much for remote admin.
It should be noted that SSHD dose not die so long as I don't use it. The
user can open and close a session on this machine without killing SSHD. But
if I use SSHD, even if only for a second, then the next time the user logs
out SSHD will die.
The goal here for me is to use cygwin for remote administration. Almost ALL
machines are Win98se and I can't change that fact. This bug if you can call
it that realy has me dead in the water.
Unfortunatly I am a sysadmin, I am not a developer and I don't have the
skillset to fix this bug/problem myself.
Am I realy the only one that wants to use SSHD and Cygwin on Win9x
platforms?
