openssh unix dev - Jun 2001 - [PATCH]: Add features to Cygwin's ssh-host-config script

Hi,

I have added two features to the ssh-host-config script which is used
in Cygwin installations to prepare the host based OpenSSH configuration.

Now it cares for a /var/log/lastlog file if it's not already installed
(Thanks to "Karl M" <karlm30 at hotmail.com> for that patch) and
it now
asks the user if s/he wants to install sshd as a NT service and, if so,
installs it.
