I had an epiphany. While googling and researching a tried and true method of installing cygwin on my XP, I found what I thought was step by step information on how to perform such procedure. The format in which the information was displayed, at best, hack-kneed, but it had what I wanted. (I hate tried to read and decipher poorly built web pages with text and links all over the page.)
I followed the procedure and did not succeed in getting the ssh service to start. I tried a few suggested remedies as prescribe by the same page to no avail. I google the message I was getting about the ssh service not starting and found out that indeed I had installed cygwin incorrectly.
My enlightened thought is this:
Rather than I post solutions to the questions and problems I incur, I will post the links to where I found those answers, if they are not mine. This will ensure that if you follow the right instructions. My intention is that I not give you wrong answer, but the proper one.
