Any interesting syslog entry from sshd? Any error message in /var/log/sshd.log? If not, try this: - Deinstall the sshd service: cygrunsrv -R sshd - Edit /etc/passwd and remove the sshd account entry. - Remove the sshd account: net user sshd /delete - If you didn't change much in your /etc/ssh_config and /etc/ssdh_config files, remove them. - Run ssh-host-config again. - Run ssh-user-config for your own (and each other used) account. - Restart the sshd service.
