Subject: sshd connection refused

I have just installed the latest version of cygwin on my NT box. I have run ssh-config. I have edited sshd_config, and changed /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key to /etc/ssh_host_key

I have tried changing the password with the passwd command. no matter what I do sshd says the connection is closed by the remote host, and ssh says connection refused (it never prompts me for a password)

I have been working on this problem for several days, I am exhausted and stumped. Please help

When I run sshd -d , and ssh on the same box I get:
