If you could repeat the information below for a machine with the latest
Cygwin and OpenSSH, along with your '/etc/passwd' and 'cygcheck -srv'
output, that may be helpful.

Hi Larry,
After analyzing the debug information you recommended, I was still not able
to find the reason of the error message during the ssh login. Below the
output of the commands after the login.

The only customized change in /etc/sshd_config is the debug flag one:
LogLevel DEBUG3
Thanks, Ernesto.

When I log in into my Windows Server 2008 R2 using ssh, I get the following

This is independent on whether I log in with the root user who is mapped to
the Administrator in the /etc/passwd or not using another user of the group
Administrators. The sshd daemon is able to log me in and everything seems
fine, but this error is telling me something is wrong in my machine which I
was not able to find till now. I have also re-installed cygwin and upgraded
ssh with the level OpenSSH_6.5p1-1 without success.
What does 'pwd' say after you login? Does '/home/root' exist? If so, what
are the permissions it shows (for each of ls -l, getfacl, cacls)?
Looking at the output of ssh -v -v -v may help. Setting up a sshd service
to run debug and looking at that output will probably be more help.
