openssl-devel is no longer installable via the cygwin setup and it's hidden by default, so you can't see the replacement very easy. |

This package describes important Cygwin specific stuff concerning OpenSSH. The binary package is usually built for recent Cygwin versions and might not run on older versions. Please check http://cygwin.com/ for information about current Cygwin releases. ================== Host configuration ================== If you are installing OpenSSH the first time, you can generate global config files and server keys, as well as installing sshd as a service, by running /usr/bin/ssh-host-config Note that this binary archive doesn't contain default config files in /etc. That files are only created if ssh-host-config is started. To support testing and unattended installation ssh-host-config got some options: usage: ssh-host-config [OPTION]... Options: --debug -d Enable shell's debug output. --yes -y Answer all questions with "yes" automatically. --no -n Answer all questions with "no" automatically. --cygwin -c <options> Use "options" as value for CYGWIN environment var. --name -N <name> sshd windows service name. --port -p <n> sshd listens on port n. --user -u <account> privileged user for service, default 'cyg_server'. --pwd -w <passwd> Use "pwd" as password for privileged user. --privileged On Windows XP, require privileged user instead of LocalSystem for sshd service. Installing sshd as daemon via ssh-host-config is recommended. Alternatively you can start sshd via inetd, if you have the inetutils package installed. Just run ssh-host-config, but answer "no" when asked to install sshd as service. The ssh-host-config script also adds the required lines to /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services. ================== User configuration ================== Any user can simplify creating the own private and public keys by running /usr/bin/ssh-user-config To support testing and unattended installation ssh-user-config got some options as well: usage: ssh-user-config [OPTION]... Options: --debug -d Enable shell's debug output. --yes -y Answer all questions with "yes" automatically. --no -n Answer all questions with "no" automatically. --passphrase -p word Use "word" as passphrase automatically. Please note that OpenSSH does never use the value of $HOME to search for the users configuration files! It always uses the value of the pw_dir field in /etc/passwd as the home directory. If no home diretory is set in /etc/passwd, the root directory is used instead! ================ Building OpenSSH ================ Building from source is easy. Just unpack the source archive, cd to that directory, and call cygport: cygport openssh.cygport all You must have installed the following packages to be able to build OpenSSH with the aforementioned cygport script: zlib crypt libssl-devel libedit-devel libkrb5-devel Please send requests, error reports etc. to cygwin@cygwin.com.
