Thanks for your reply, Corinna!
I do, in fact, have two copies (both the same) of
Cygwin1.dll. One is the proper one in /bin and
the other is in my chroot jail <chroot>/bin since
this is the only way I can give the user the
ability to do things like 'ls', etc.
Are you saying that this is what is killing me?
Why doesn't it die for empty passwords? Is
there something in the pubkey authentication
that might be holding a reference open over the
chroot? If this is true, then chroot upon SSH
login is impossible under Cygwin!
