Hi. I'm getting a situation on one machine where sshd will fail to
accept connections in a way that says "connection refused" even though
it is listening. The server shows a large (58) number of connections

We had a weird incident involving ctime changing unexpectedly when
mtime did not.
On a normal UNIX system, we'd immediately say somebody changed the
file and set mtime back, but on Cygwin, ctime appears to be synthetic.
How exactly does ctime work on Cygwin? I can't find any useful
documentation

to DocBook and put up preliminary versions:
Several files: http://staff.washington.edu/joshuadf/cygwin/faq.html
