SSH Setup Issue


I cant seem to get sshd service to start on my Windows Vista box.
I tried a few different things, I turned off UAC, I ran bash as Admin.
Also, 'chown system:system /var/empty /etc/ssh_*' , 'chmod 755 /etc'.


Still when I run 'ssh-host-config', I seem to be missing a few prompts

$ ssh-host-config
Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/ssh_config file
Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) yes
Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3.
However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'.
For more info on privilege separation read /usr/share/doc/openssh/README.
.
Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
Generating /etc/sshd_config file

Host configuration finished. Have fun!

And 'net start sshd'

$ net start sshd
The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

Any suggestions ? I attached my cygcheck output.
