openSSH installation

[zillamon]

Hi,

I'm new to setting up SSH and I've read an article at (http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/artic ... on-windows) to set up openssh a server of mine running Windows 2003 Server R2 x86 on a domain. I was able to create the local group and usernames but I could not start the service using net start opensshd. I had an error of:

"The OpenSSH Server service is starting.

The OpenSSH Server service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 1067 has occurred.

The process terminated unexpectedly."

Then I noticed that the public keys were not generated so I tried to use the following commands to create them:

ssh-keygen.exe -t dsa -f /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
ssh-keygen.exe -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh_host_key -N ""
ssh-keygen.exe -t rsa -f /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ""

That didn't work so I checked the dump file for error info and this is what I received:

Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=00404125
eax=00000035 ebx=100E0160 ecx=00000003 edx=100E0160 esi=00000007 edi=100E0F30

I'm pretty stumped about this. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Jon
