Hi Corinna, the following error was logged in the sshd.log :
2 [main] sshd 7140 d:\Sygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** fatal error - could not load user32, Win32 error 1114 I tried to google this but could not make too much sense of the error. Its supposed to be a failure of a dll initialization. And this occurs only after the sessions limit mentioned earlier are reached.
