I noted that on both of my Thinkpad machines /bin had 755 permissions, so I changed them to 777 (though as I first mentioned only one machine has this sshd problem). I note that the new sshd_config and ssh_config files do not differ. (/sbin and /usr/sbin still have 755 permissions, and /usr/sbin/sshd.exe and /bin/cygcrypt-0.dll still have 777 permissions -- on both machines.) Upon rebooting I get the same problem described in my original email. I don't know if this is helpful, but I note that in the Event Viewer on the troubled machine I see: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: sshd : PID 2708 : Received signal 15; terminating.. (On a subsequent try I got the end of the same message reading: sshd : PID 2708 : Received signal 15; terminating.. The PID of course changed, but so did the Received signal.) Re your following email, I saw the bad line in the installed.db file on both my machines and deleted them. At this time, ssh works fine from both machines, but sshd does not work on the troubled machine after bringing up a cygwin window and using `/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start`. However, my real concern is the problem that every boot on the troubled machine is interrupted with the error/warning mentioned in my original email, requiring additional manual intervention to click away the warning/error. Thanks. Lester +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Lester, Now that we've ruled out user mounts, one possible reason for your problem could be the traverse checking in the new Cygwin DLL. Run /usr/bin/ssh-host-config again with the "-c 'ntsec notraverse'" flag. If this helps with your problem, check the permissions on /bin -- it should at least be executable for everyone. Once you do a "chmod a+x /bin", rerun /usr/bin/ssh-host-config again and use the default value of CYGWIN.
