Re: "ssh-host-config" now involves "cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh"


Hello Corinna,

thank you for your answer - that's great news! Currently we're planning to
stay on Cygwin 1.5 as long as 1.7 is not declared final and stable. How
would I be able to get OpenSSH 5.2p1-3 into my 1.5 installation?

Regards
Christoph Herdeg

The new ssh-host-config script used for OpenSSH 5.2p1-3 in the
Cygwin 1.7 release area doesn't have that problem anymore.
