README

      1 This package describes important Cygwin specific stuff concerning OpenSSH.
      2 
      3 The binary package is usually built for recent Cygwin versions and might
      4 not run on older versions.  Please check http://cygwin.com/ for information
      5 about current Cygwin releases.
      6 
      7 ==================
      8 Host configuration
      9 ==================
     10 
     11 If you are installing OpenSSH the first time, you can generate global config
     12 files and server keys, as well as installing sshd as a service, by running
     13 
     14    /usr/bin/ssh-host-config
     15 
     16 Note that this binary archive doesn't contain default config files in /etc.
     17 That files are only created if ssh-host-config is started.
     18 
     19 To support testing and unattended installation ssh-host-config got
     20 some options:
     21 
     22 usage: ssh-host-config [OPTION]...
     23 Options:
     24     --debug  -d            Enable shell's debug output.
     25     --yes    -y            Answer all questions with "yes" automatically.
     26     --no     -n            Answer all questions with "no" automatically.
     27     --cygwin -c <options>  Use "options" as value for CYGWIN environment var.
     28     --port   -p <n>        sshd listens on port n.
     29     --user   -u <account>  privileged user for service, default 'cyg_server'.
     30     --pwd    -w <passwd>   Use "pwd" as password for privileged user.
     31     --privileged           On Windows XP, require privileged user
     32                            instead of LocalSystem for sshd service.
     33 
     34 Installing sshd as daemon via ssh-host-config is recommended.
     35 
     36 Alternatively you can start sshd via inetd, if you have the inetutils
     37 package installed.  Just run ssh-host-config, but answer "no" when asked
     38 to install sshd as service.  The ssh-host-config script also adds the
     39 required lines to /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services.
     40 
     41 ==================
     42 User configuration
     43 ==================
     44 
     45 Any user can simplify creating the own private and public keys by running
     46 
     47   /usr/bin/ssh-user-config
     48 
     49 To support testing and unattended installation ssh-user-config got
     50 some options as well:
     51 
     52 usage: ssh-user-config [OPTION]...
     53 Options:
     54     --debug      -d        Enable shell's debug output.
     55     --yes        -y        Answer all questions with "yes" automatically.
     56     --no         -n        Answer all questions with "no" automatically.
     57     --passphrase -p word   Use "word" as passphrase automatically.
     58 
     59 Please note that OpenSSH does never use the value of $HOME to
     60 search for the users configuration files! It always uses the
     61 value of the pw_dir field in /etc/passwd as the home directory.
     62 If no home diretory is set in /etc/passwd, the root directory
     63 is used instead!
     64 
     65 ================
     66 Building OpenSSH
     67 ================
     68 
     69 Building from source is easy.  Just unpack the source archive, cd to that
     70 directory, and call cygport:
     71 
     72 	cygport openssh.cygport all
     73 
     74 You must have installed the following packages to be able to build OpenSSH
     75 with the aforementioned cygport script:
     76 
     77   zlib
     78   crypt
     79   openssl-devel
     80   libedit-devel
     81   libkrb5-devel
     82 
     83 Please send requests, error reports etc. to cygwin (a] cygwin.com.

     86 Have fun,
