Did you try a recent snapshot?
If, by "snapshot", you mean System Restore Point, then the problems
began too long ago for a restore point still to exist. I have been
searching for solutions for some months already.
No, I mean a recent Cygwin snapshot of the pending 1.5.20 release. See
<http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>
Think about things that have changed about the time things stopped
working
for you. This includes things both a part of and external to Cygwin.
Most likely, it was a Cygwin update. sshd worked OK during most of
2005, but has not worked since I updated Cygwin early in 2006. I don't
use ssh on a daily basis, and it took some time to notice that
connections were failing.
Is there any way I can get a previous version of cygwin1.dll to check
against?
Use setup.exe. But backing up may not be very easy if you have other
upgraded apps that depend on new functionality in 1.5.19.
