Try running sshd directly yourself now. You can also run it under strace to see if the output points at something interesting (please don't sent the entire output of strace to the list though - only send a piece if you believe there's something interesting or relevant - if you're not pretty sure, don't bother). As a last resort, you can try adding the other permissions listed in '/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README' to your user name and see if this helps. I actually did this first and then backed off these permissions once I got it working until I found the minimal set I needed but maybe Windows wasn't giving up some privileges I gave, or at least not without a reboot (which I didn't do). -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
