I'm having a strange problem with Cygwin SSHD on a Windows Server 2003. I can log in with password authentication without any problems, but with RSA authentication, a session is opened and immediately closes again.
ssh -v localhost says: ... debug1: Sending response to host key RSA challenge. debug1: Remote: RSA authentication accepted. debug1: RSA authentication accepted by server. debug1: Requesting pty. debug1: Requesting shell. debug1: Entering interactive session. Last login: Fri Aug 13 14:39:26 2004 from 127.0.0.1 Connection to localhost closed. debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 54, stderr 33 bytes in 0.2 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 306.8, stderr 187.5 debug1: Exit status 255 With password authentication something slightly different happens at the end which gives me a useful login: debug1: Next authentication method: password [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: Entering interactive session. If I use RSA authentication but don't request a tty (ssh -T), the connection is still closes immediately.
