Ooh, no. The interesting part happens on the server side. You must start sshd under strace. Create a new service using cygrunsrv, e. g. called "trace_sshd", which runs `/bin/strace /usr/sbin/sshd -D'. Run it instead of the normal sshd service. The output will be automatically redirected to /var/log/trace_sshd.log. Be aware that the file might get *very* big. And it's a good idea to switch off privilege separation in your sshd_config file for this. Another step you can try first: There's a small chance that an Event Log entry has been created when the problem happens. I can't tell you how that might look like, but it's perhaps worth a try. Just musing: Is it possible that the /etc/passwd or /etc/group file gets frequently rewritten on the server machine? Perhaps something goes wrong there. It shouldn't but...
