: Hi, thanks for replying.
: I tried:
: 
: "C:/Program Files/OpenSSH/bin/ssh.exe"  -R 40201:localhost:50300 -o
: TCPKeepAlive=no -o ServerAliveInterval=15 -o ServerAliveCountMax=2 -T
: -N -i "C:/id_rsa" visma at 10.55.40.123
: 
: still doesn't connect when started as service.
: 
  [...]
: I am thinking that it allows to connect with user account because the
: known_hosts file was previous created. As soon as i deleted that file
: ssh asked if i am sure to connect to the linux machine because is not
: known. If i answered yes known_hosts file was created in c:\documents
: and settings\[user]\.ssh folder.
  [...]
: Is it a way to make ssh not ask that first question (we can't input
: yes from service)? or make it recognize the known_hosts file?

Look for 'StrictHostKeyChecking' in the 'ssh_config' man page.

: And is it a way to output the verbose to a file? Tried '-ddd' it said
: invalid command.

The '-d' switch is for sshd (the server).  Use '-v' (lowercase vee) for
ssh (the client).

You probably need to create either a (Cygwin or MinGW) bash.exe script
or a CMD/BAT script in order to redirect the output to a file.

Good luck.
