Hardy Ferentschik commented on JBDS-3671:
-----------------------------------------

{code}
this pacman worked for me and sshd -h would print out help text.
{code}

Ok, I did the same thing and it installs the binary. However, it does not install sshd as a service. I tried this gist - https://gist.github.com/samhocevar/00eec26d9e9988d080ac, but it did not work out of the box (still investigating).

The question here is really, does installing msys2 not introduce yet another unix-style environment? Is the whole point not to avoid installing things like cygwin & co? 

Also, trying to execute {{sshd}} (except just -h), returns

sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path

> As parts of the Docker story we need to be able to mount the users home directory into the VM (as docker-machine does as well). Only this way the user can then use Docker mounts to mount for example project directories into a Docker container.
> docker-machine uses the vbguest additions for that, but we still need to determine whether this is possible for us due to potential licensing issues. 
> An alternative approach is to use [sshfs|https://github.com/dustymabe/vagrant-sshfs/] and use ssh to mount the user's home directory into the VM. sshfs, however, requires a running sshd on the host. On Windows I am aware of two ways of doing that
> * Cygwin - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/preinstall_req_cygwin_ssh.htm#EMBSC150
> * Win32-OpenSSH - https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH
> I think the Windows ssh port would be the preferred solution, however, when testing it, the connection failed when using sshfs. I was able to simple ssh from the guest (CDK) to the host (Windows), but when using sshfs the connection would just abort. More investigation is required for using vagrant-sshfs with  Win32-OpenSSH. It might just be that the Windows port is not fully functional which would leave use with the cygwin approach.
> Bottom line, if we want to use the sshfs approach as an alternative for vbguest additions, we need to get sshd installed one way or the other.
