I managed to solve this problem, but I'd love some confirmation that I solved it the right way.
After updating cygwin and rebooting, all of a sudden I couldn't ssh into my windows box. The remote gave the usual "connection closed by <bla> port 22" before anything happened. Running in debug mode from an admin shell didn't yield anything, but looking in the windows application logs, I saw: sshd: PID 2588: fatal: seteuid 1056480: No such device or address The google suggested that the error was pty related, but it was not. By accident, I noticed that I could log in from an account that I hadn't set up public key auth, using my password. So I forced ssh to prompt for my password and viola! I got in just fine. On the server, I started another admin shell and did `passwd -R my.username` and input my password. That was the key. I can now log in using public key auth as I could a few hours ago. Was that the correct solution? Is that expected? This windows box is on a domain, so that might have something to do with it. -- David Dombrowsky, Senior Software Engineer email: da...@6thstreetradio.org Cell: 518-374-3204 https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-dombrowsky-94334415 http://6thstreetradio.org/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
