I can't reproduce this problem, neither with Cygwin 1.7.7, nor with the latest Cygwin from CVS, neither with OpenSSH 5.6, nor 5.7, nor 5.8. However, I *could* reproduce it on my machine when trying to login using another account than my own. After some digging it turned out that one of my DLLs in /bin had 700 permissions, rather than the correct 755 permissions. That was a result of some debugging I did a couple of days back. Anyway, after fixing that, the login worked fine. Just calling `chmod 755 /bin/*.dll' did the trick. Here's another potential cause: Right now there appears to be a problem with the latest bash (see the mailing list archives of the last few days), but for some unknown reason the problem doesn't manifest on all machines. I assume you didn't only update cygwin or openssh, but all packages. Restart setup and revert bash to the older 3.2.51-24 and see if it fixes your problem. Or, set the login shell of the account you're trying to login to to /bin/dash, or /bin/tcsh, or any other non-bash shell available.
