Hey, I'm turning here for help since I have a feeling that I searched the whole web and I didn't find a solution.
I use CYGWIN on Windows 7 to allow connections via SSH, and it works OK if I use username and password for authentication, but it doesn't work with key authentication. At first I noticed that Putty log contains this events ("SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST" sent as last message): Event Log: Offered public key Event Log: Server unexpectedly closed network connection In sshd.log I found that this error was recorded: "0 [main] sshd 20872 fork: child -1 - forked process 17012 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 0xC000007B, errno 11" I looked further and I found that in Windows "Event Viewer" error gets reported by sshd: "The description for Event ID 0 from source sshd cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: sshd: PID 17112: fatal: seteuid 1000: Operation not permitted" I found a guy who had similar problem (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-06/msg00316.html), and there they mention "there is no solution" for this problem, so I was wondering if that's true? Could someone please push me into the right direction? Look forward to hear from you.
