Hi, I experience a similar problem (ssh login) on NT/2000 machines. Cygwin with 1.5.14 works just fine. When I switch to cygwin 1.5.17, I get 'access denied'.
I haven't observed problems on XP/2003 machines. I tried those scenarios on 2 NT servers, 1 NT Workstation, 2 XP PCs and 2 Windows 2003 servers. Same result !!
