Re: ssh logon failure


Marco and others: 

I also had the same problem, and ultimately was able to solve the problem by: 

- Completely removed any references to sshd and cyg_server in the 
Windows user accounts and also in /etc/passwd
-Removed the "CYGWIN sshd" Service 
(in a Run-as-Admin command line run 'sc delete sshd' )
- Ran the cygwin terminal As-Admin and the /bin/ssh-host-config script, 
re-creating the deleted accounts and services by exactly following this guide:
( under 'Configuring OpenSSH in Cygwin')L 
http://www.howtogeek.com
/howto/41560/how-to-get-ssh-command-line-access-to-windows-7-using-cygwin/ 

After that (and running 'net start sshd'), ssh services were restored. 
If you're still having this problem 
(and for anyone who had to madly google this problem) 
I hope this helps.

Good luck!
