Install Cygwin and Starting the SSH Daemon


I am following the steps I found for "Installing Cygwin and Starting the SSH Daemon" and in step 5.4.5 it has instructions to add the following line to the end of the C:\cygwin\etc\sshd_config file (only if installed version 1.7.31 or higher)

KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group-exchange-shal,diffie-hellman-group1-shal

What is the purpose of this?

I opened the file and did not find any Kex....text in the file.

Do I need this before I can proceed?

When I go to step 7 (steps to start the SSH daemon) and run the command /usr/sbin/sshd I get the following results:

Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ed24419_key
sshd: no hostkeys available --exiting.

You should use cygrunsrv from withing cygwin to enable sshd as a windows service. There are many tutorials online.
