Synopsis: extract these files to a folder (which you probably 
          have done by now) and run setup.bat.  You now have
          a fully working sshd server on your WinNT 4.0
          box. 

How does it work?
          Cygnus has some libraries that allow easy porting
          of Linux apps to Win32.  If you have never checked
          out the Cygnus GNU32 tools check out:
               http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
          And sshd can be downloaded form here:
               http://dome.weeg.uiowa.edu/pub/domestic/sos/ports/
          
          I did some hex editing of the cygwin1.dll so that 
          the default shell would be /cmd rather than 
          /bin/sh so that a minimal amount of files would need
          to be included with this package.

          The ssh_host_key and similar files are kept in 
          C:\WinNT\ dir.
         
 
How did I implement this quick install?
          1. All files are copied to the C:\WinNT dir
          2. C:\WinNT\System32\cmd.exe is copied to
             C:\cmd.exe (this becomes the default shell)
          3. sshd-keygen is run to generate your private key
          4. instsrv from the WinNT resource kit is run to 
             install srvany.exe as a service.
          5. A .reg file is imported to the registry to
             configure options of the srvany service
             (i.e. tell it to run c:\winnt\sshd.exe)
          6. Start the SecureShellDaemon service.

          

INSTALLATION:
          1. Extract this archive to a folder.
          2. If your %SystemRoot% is NOT C:\WinNT\
             you need to edit setup.bat accordingly.
          3. Run setup.bat
          4. Connect to your new sshd server!
             All authentication is passed to WinNT,
             so log in over ssh just like you would
             at the login screen.
