It may be that the sshd service account password is wrong - or more likely - the password has expired. Have a look in the security log of the machine, and you should see a failure audit. Check in lusrmgr.msc for the sshd user account and check that the password is set to never expire, and that it hasn't been disabled/locked out. -- AdamT "At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid." - Nietzsche -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
