After what seemed like a normal May 2005 Cygwin update, my Ohio remote
Win2K SP4 machine stopped accepting ssh connections. For two years up
to that point, no Cygwin update interfered with normal SSH operation.
Via a naked VNC connection, in the Cygwin shell, 'ssh -vvv localhost'
fails with the error message "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection
closed by remote host". See -vvv output below:
I removed cygwin from the machine and freshly installed (today) the
current release of Cygwin and openssh/ssl, cyrunsrv, etc. Same result.
I have tried with and without ntsec. sshd does run, it appears in the
ps output..
Installation on about six other systems has been trouble-free; each of
these successes encouraged me to retry getting the remote system running
ssh again. Every time, failure.
I'm not understanding the clues in man sshd or man ssh or the readmes.
I don't seem to be able to get sshd to generate log entries to
/var/log/* as suggested by man sshd.
I'm afraid I need some damn handholding to get this thing running.
