Error installing a service: CreateService: Win32 error 1057 up vote 1 down vote favorite 1 ssh-host-config is not working, I get this error at creating sshd as a service. I'm running Windows 7 32 bit with cygwin installed. It was working at first, after installing cygwin. I did ssh-host-config a few times. I wanted to be sure to change the configuration of ssh and sshd so I uninstalled. Can't remember if there was an error. I used these instructions when uninstalling and reinstalling. I followed the instructions on this site and suspect that changing the permissions on those directory's messed up my system. Somewhere, can't remember where, I saw a error/warning message about ownership and that it would mess up things. Maybe it's a good tutorial I don't know. Here is the error: /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: CreateService: Win32 error 1057 Here is ssh-host-config: ~ $ ssh-host-config -y *** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file?

When I http://www.noah.org/ssh/cygwin-sshd.html run 'ssh-host-config -y' the service installation phase fails on the Finnish equivalent of "cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: CreateService: Win32 error 1057: The account name is invalid or does error 1057 not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified." Changing the computer name to just "PC", rebooting and retrying works around the problem. Localized output from Windows in cygwin with non-ASCII characters still looks awful by default though :) Running 'ssh-host-config -y -d' succeeds in installing the service with warnings, and as cyg_server is not taking over the account name incoming privsep logins it still does not work. A wild guess is that the non-ASCII computer name somehow affects the user creation or granting privileges. As a side note, non-ASCII user names work well and are not affected by this. As long as proper code pages are consistently used, non-ASCII user names are a challenge to be handled primarily between different systems consoles and file formats. I thought I'd throw this out there as could not find earlier messages about this. At least someone googling can find the workaround. Non-ASCII host/computer names are often not well handled elsewhere anyway, so there are more reasons than this to avoid them.

openssh Open a new bash shell window and run the SSH configure stuff. ssh-host-config -y This step will create necessary configuration files, a priviledge separation user and necessary directories. When prompted with "CYGWIN=" type for following: tty ntsec Now you are ready to start the service. cygrunsrv -S sshd Finished Bugs Sometimes you get a sshd/cygrunsrv service error after trying to run the service. cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. There can be a couple of causes for this. The following may fix the problem (this is not an option on XP Home). Solution 1. You may have an old or corrupt installation of Cygwin. Try reinstalling. The following may also help: cygrunsrv -R sshd REBOOT (or use the Task Manager to kill all instances of sshd that may be running in the background) run "ssh-host-config -y" again. This seemed to help on a few systems I worked on. Solution 2. Open an explorer window and use the "Properties | Security" dialog and explicitly add "Full Control" for the SYSTEM user to the following directories: C:\Cygwin C:\Cygwin\var C:\Cygwin\var\log Hope that helps!
