start ssh port forwarding at boot time

[Matthias Meyer <Matthias dot Meyer at gmx dot li>]

Hello,

I try to start port forwarding shortly after boot by using cygrunsrv.

$ cygrunsrv -Q forward5729
Service             : forward5729
Current State       : Stopped
Command             : /usr/bin/ssh -v -f -2 -N -L 5729:localhost:5729 user@myhost.tld

Unfortunately this will not work for me:

root@hostxp ~
$ tail /var/log/forward5729.log
:

debug1: identity file /.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /.ssh/id_dsa type -1

debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY
debug1: read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address

If I start it in a terminal, it will work:

$ /usr/bin/ssh -v -f -2 -N -L 5729:localhost:5729 user@myhost.tld

What should I do?

Thanks in advance
