I have a similar problem. Most of the time ssh can not connect to the sshd in Windows7.
In my logfile (in Windows7) I found: 7300 [main] sshd 3772 child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed, 0x2C5000..0x2C52E0, done 0, windows pid 3512, Win32 error 487 I didn't believe that the /etc/host.deny can be the reason because: - I don't have this file - Sometimes the ssh connection do work - I run the same ssh/sshd configuration in XP and Vista without problems br Matthias -- Don't Panic -- 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
