Hi everybody, I started using cygwin a couple of days ago, primarily to be able to access my windows system from work via ssh/sftp. I installed it to a FAT32 partiton, added openssh, configured the server as described in the howto at tech.erdelynet.com and everything worked out-of-the-box. I could log in to my cygwin system from localhost and from the linux box at work.
As I liked cygwin a lot (in fact I was absolutely fascinated), I decided to put it onto a larger NTFS drive to have more room to play with Xfree, gcc, apache etc. I deleted my old cygwin installation and started from scratch. Everything is working fine, however I can no longer access my system via ssh from the outside. When I try to connect from a remote linux box, all I get is "connecting to port 22" and nothing happens (see below). ,---- [ trying to connect from a remote machine ] | [~]$ ssh -v xxx.xxx | OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL | 0x0090603f | debug1: Reading configuration data /home/chris/.ssh/config | debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config | debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be | trusted. | debug1: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 | debug1: Connecting to xxx.xxx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] port 22. | [....nothing happens....] `---- It seems as if port 22 was only accessible locally, but not from the outside. I am not behind a firewall. XPs built-in firewall is turned off as well. cygwin is installed on an NTFS drive with system variable CYGWIN set to "ntsec tty". I have used "ssh-host-config -y" to configure sshd and entered those values there as well. The server seems to start up ok: ,---- [ windows event log ] | sshd : Win32 Process Id = 0x8E0 : Cygwin Process Id = 0xCE0 : Server | listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.. | | sshd : Win32 Process Id = 0xC80 : Cygwin Process Id = 0xC80 : `sshd' | service started `---- A ssh session from a cygwin bash session on localhost (working fine): ,---- [ connecting from localhost ] | [/etc]$ ssh -v cm@localhost | OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090607f | debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be | trusted. | debug1: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 | debug1: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 22. | debug1: Connection established. | debug1: identity file /home/cm/.ssh/identity type -1 | debug1: identity file /home/cm/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 | debug1: identity file /home/cm/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 | debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version | OpenSSH_3.4p1 | debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.4p1 pat OpenSSH* | Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 | debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.4p1 | | [...snip...] | | debug1: next auth method to try is password | cm@localhost's password: `---- I have attached the file permissions relevant to sshd and a copy of my sshd_config file: ,---- [ file permissions ] | [/etc]$ ls -l ssh* | -rw------- 1 SYSTEM Kein 1049 20.
