OpenSSH server configuration on Windows10

O.K.,

It seems I got it working:

• Do the following as administrator:
  cd to C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH and execute ssh-keygen -A
  Install-Module -Name OpenSSHUtils -RequiredVersion 0.0.2.0 in a windows-powershell
  Download and unzip OpenSSH-Win64.zip from Release v0.0.15.0 . PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH . GitHub
  Copy FixHostFilePermissions.ps1 to C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH
  In a windows-powershell cd to C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH and execute .\FixHostFilePermissions
  Now the sshd service can be started and -guess what- you can finally ssh to your windows10 computer

Ain't this genuine pure crap ???
