Hi, good day. my systme is vista 32bit as Admin, I downloaded the sshd packages and installed them - opened cygwin bash as administrator - ran ssh-host-config -y and accepted overwriting to /etc/sshd_config and /etc/inetd.d/sshd-inetd when asked - ran ssh-user-config -y and used empty passphrase - checked permissions on both /var/empty and /var/log/sshd.log, both of them belongs to the sshd owner (syg_server) and only writable to its owner - enable port 22 in Windows firewall for passing through - ran net start ssh: The CYGWIN sshd service is starting. The CYGWIN sshd service was started successfully.
Everything seems okay at this point... but after that I cannot ssh to my localhost: $ ssh localhost -vvv OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8i 15 Sep 2008 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/Admin/.ssh/identity type 0 debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/Admin/.ssh/id_rsa. debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug1: identity file /home/Admin/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/Admin/.ssh/id_dsa. debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug3: key_read: missing whitespace debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug1: identity file /home/Admin/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host /var/log/sshd.log is empty and /etc/sshd_config doesn't seem to have anything out of ordinary. Can anyone please suggest some helps? Thanks in advance!
