I just solved this yesterday on my box. If you get a "Connection closed by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" message when using ssh to connect to a Cygwin sshd server, and/or the event log on the server machine contains the error "sshd: PID XXXX: fatal: seteuid YYYYY: Permission denied", the user account that sshd is running under probably does not have the "Create a token object" right. Note that if the account does not have this right, it probably doen't have other important rights as well. These rights are normally setup by the ssh-host-config script for the sshd_server user. -- Tom Schutter First American - Proxix Solutions 303-440-7272 x6822 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
