This was under Cygwin 1.5 (not 1.7) and Win7 (build 7600 enterprise release). The OpenSSH server worked for a few days and then stopped working with similar symptoms to you. I eventually got it working again. After working for a couple more days, it broke again. Nevertheless, this is what I did to make it work after not working. I realize some of this may be unnecessary or even counterproductive. I don't know enough Cygwin and/or Windows to say what made a difference so I'm just telling you what I did in the off chance that it helps somebody find the real problem. > > > 1.

From bash, run ssh-host-config to recreate user and sshd service. Answer yes to everything except allow cyg_server to be the name of the user. > 5. Manually set the password for the cyg_server user from Cygwin. Make it 10 characters with only alphanumeric (i.e. "abcDEF1234" - not my password obviously). > passwd cygserver > 6.

But I will try these again in the order of steps you have provided. The only thing I did not try was using alphanumeric password thanks again -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
