a selection of all the error message I am getting. Messing around
trying to start it.

it doesn`t show up on netstat -an. I did install and uninstall a
windows port of openssh, I don`T know if that messed things up. But
nothing i easily do about that if it did..

$ cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd
