Re: SSH Setup Issue
Had the issue before I did all of the above, I know all this is already
performed by ssh-host-config, So does this mean ssh-host-config is not
working properly ?
Took a look at '/var/log/sshd.log'.
'/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.'
So, 'chown SYSTEM empty'
Kris@Kris-PC /var
$ chown SYSTEM empty
Kris@Kris-PC /var
$ net start sshd
The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
