RE: sshd service on Win2003 not accepting connection

Hi Mike,

I have the same observation as Wei that is trying sftp from localhost
from the server give the same error message. In addition, the event logs
show the following error messages:

sshd: PID 1884: error: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

The cygwin installation has already added tcpip service in the
"DependOnService" key. I read some previous mails in this mailing list
that some guys has to add the last service group into the
"DependOnGroup" (or something like that I think) key to force Windows to
start sshd at the very last. However, strangely, the regedit/regedt32 on
the server does not show the REG_MUTLI_SZ value in a list but instead as
Hex values. So, I am not comfortable to make the changes.

Regards,
Seng Chuan

You can make a service depend on another server by opening REGEDIT to 
the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sshd
Add a REG_MULTI_SZ value named "DependOnService" and set it to "tcpip"

Then sshd won't start until the TCPIP service starts.
