My CYGWIN environment variable is set to "tty ntsec". This seems to be working OK, except that password-based authentication is not working when I connect to my Cygwin sshd. Publickey authentication DOES work, however. I was wondering if perhaps the Japanese string in the additional pw_gecos field is the cause of the problem with password authentication.
