Hi,

I followed directions (/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README) as best I  
could, helped out by a couple of other web sources along the way.  I  
know almost nothing about Windows administration.

Trying to connect with PuTTY gives a "server unexpectedly closed  
connectin" error.

Here is where things stand:

-- there is a process /usr/bin/ssh running in Cygwin.  I don't have a  
client running; could this possibly be sshd??

-- I *can* ssh into the same machine from mintty.

-- the machine on which Cygwin and ssh are installed is a  
WinServer2003, **running as a VM on a WindowsServer2003 host  
machine**. I don't know whether this is relevant or not (i.e. whether  
additional configuration is required on the host OS).

Can someone suggest a next troubleshooting step?

Thanks,
Chap
