I have been running sshd on Cygwin for over a year now. I always keep my Cygwin installation up to date.
Recently, remote ssh connections into the Cygwin box have been disconnecting. It is very inconvenient! I see an error message in the Windows "Application" event log: [23910] sshd Type: ERROR Computer: OWL Time: 2005-07-14 2:05:34 PM ID: 0 User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM sshd : PID 936 : fatal: Timeout before authentication for xxx.xxx.xxx.107 [23909] sshd Type: ERROR Computer: OWL Time: 2005-07-14 2:05:34 PM ID: 0 User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM sshd : PID 3520 : fatal: Timeout before authentication for xxx.xxx.xxx.107 In the above, xxx.xxx.xxx.107 is the address of the remote machine. On the remote machine, "ssh" is invoked as: sh -l david `cat $HOME/owladdress.txt` \ -D 12345 \ -L 465:guess.obscured.net:465 \ -L 995:guess.obscured.net:995 \ -L 23456:localhost:23456 \ -N \ "$@" This is a recent problem. It could be a network issue, but I'm concerned that the OpenSSH packages under Cygwin might be in trouble. -- 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/
