After upgrading from cygwin 1.3.12 to 1.3.17 (also tried 1.3.16, same problem), I cannot establish a remote session anymore.
When running ssh -v some-address to the server with cygwin 1.3.17 and sshd 3.5-p1, the session is first established (I get login messages), but then immediately closed. On the client side I get the following message : debug1: permanently_set_uid: 45090/10513 setuid 45090: Permission denied I have searched and found some answers, but they all rely on the fact that one has Administrator rights on his WinNT/2000 box, but in our case that is not possible, so I have to run the sshd as a specific user, and I also can not install sshd as a service. This was no problem with previous version of Cygwin and sshd, so I hope that somehow this possibility has not disappeared from either OpenSSH or Cygwin.
