hi,

same here after a cygwin update (windows 2000, cygwin 1.5.17):

-  zsh as login shell for non-administrator = login via sshd hangs (!)
- bash as login shell for non-administrator = login via sshd works fine
-  zsh as login shell for the administrator = login via sshd works fine

workaround:
use cygwin1.dll release 1.5.14,
.{15,16,17} won't work ...

- stop cygwin sshd and all other cygwin-related processes
- locate cygwin-1.5.14-1.tar.bz2 via google
- extract usr/bin/cygwin1.dll from cygwin-1.5.14-1.tar.bz2
- backup /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (!), then
- replace /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll in the cygwin installation tree
- start cygwin sshd
- voila, zsh works as login shell again :o)

hope this helps. regards,

martin
