With no response to this message, I reran ssh-host-config, which fixed the broken sshd and very kindly did not even require me to re-enter the pubkeys. It would be nice if it also offered an option for manual start.Starting from a default installation of sshd that was working properly, I tried uninstalling sshd with cygrunsrv and reinstalling with --type manual. (cygrunsrv --install sshd --path /usr/sbin/sshd.exe --type manual) After rebooting I cannot start sshd with cygrunsrv. Instead, I get message "Error starting a service: Query service status: Win32 Error 1062" Is it practical to use "--type manual" with sshd, or are its security restrictions too tight for this kind of installation? My intent was to have sshd off by default, but available when I need it, with current status easily seen with ps. Is there an easy fixup for my broken sshd, or should I rerun ssh-host-config?
Inspecting the ssh-host-config script, I see that installing the server requires some configuration options that I don't understand. I'm now using the firewall to disable the server by default, though "net start sshd" and "net stop sshd" would have been more convenient.
