Subject: sshd connection refused
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have installed Cygwin 1.1.8 DDL on a NT 4 workstation with SP6.

It works when I start manually sshd, but only with RSA keys not with
passwords, even if I specified "PasswordAuthentication yes" in 
/etc/sshd_config. Note that I ssh from the same host to localhost and 
with the same user, with which I start sshd. Any idea why it does not work?

I also tried to run sshd as a service. I am trying to run sshd via srvany, 
and I did the following:

I ran inssrv as in:

c:\winnt\instsrv SecureShellDaemon "c:\winnt\srvany.exe"

I added the followin entry in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SecureShellDaemon
                  
I added the key "Parameters" under SecureShellDaemon and a name "Application" 
with value:

"c:\program\cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe" 

When I start the service with:
           
net start SecureShellDaemon

it says the service is successfully started, however in the task manager, I 
only see srvany running but not sshd. I get, in fact, a "connection refused"
message when I try to ssh to localhost. Any idea here?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
