Sorry for the lack of details.

I am using Win 2000 Professional. I installed Service Pack 2 last week.
/bin/bash (C:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe) definitely exists and is executable. 
However, it shows up only with ls -l /bin/bash.exe and not just 
"/bin/bash", which surprised me. It's file permissions are 0777 
(-rwxrwxrwx). My Cygwin environment is set to the following:
"ntsec notitle strace=0x1 binmode glob".

My sshd is basically set up to accept hostbased or pubkey 
authentication. It has two keys, ssh_host_rsa_key, and 
ssh_host_dsa_key. It uses only protocol 2, never version 1. The public 
user keys are kept in %h/.ssh/authorized_keys2. Most of the "easy" sshd 
options are turned off. No RhostsRSAAuthentication, just RSA and DSA 
authentication. I had these options "Allow Users baz; Deny Users 
[A-Zac-z]*" which works in Linux, but I had to take it out for Cygwin. 
I also had to make sure the "Strict Modes" option was "no".

Until I did a partial reinstall I was always UID 544, GID 513, 
Administrators:None. For some reason I am now a regular user, user 
number 1000. I chowned the relevant files just in case but this seems 
to make no difference.

Very strange. Formerly I thought I knew something about both Cygwin and 
ssh.

Thanks for your response.
