ssh-host-config hanging

Fri Jun 19 17:46:00 GMT 2009

I'm setting up OpenSSH on Win2008 x64. I've done this same process numerous 
times on other Windows x86 servers with no problems. First, I install cygwin 
with OpenSSH. Start the bash shell, and run:
chmod +rw /etc/passwd
chmod +rw /etc/group
chmod 755 /var
Then, I start the ssh-host-config program. Whenever it gets to the question 
"Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: []" it locks up. Not sure where 
to go from here. Thanks for your help. Below is the output:
$ ssh-host-config
*** Info: Generating /etc/ssh_host_key

*** Query: Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
*** Info: Updating /etc/sshd_config file

*** Query: Do you want to install sshd as a service? <I type yes here, but 
see no output!>
*** Query: (Say "no" if it is already installed as a service) (yes/no) ***
