Again: Cygwin SSHD on Win2000 - only ONE login possible

[Tino Lange <tino dot lange at isg dot de>]

Hi!

Since noone helps me I have to search for solutions myself:

It seems that the sshd binds only to the local adress after the first login.

When I start sshd for the first time it listens on all available 
interfaces, i. e. loopback (localhost) and its IP Adress 192.168.1.4.
So I can connect from another computer.

After the first login it binds only to localhost - I can still use ssh 
to the same machine (or telnet localhost 22) - but not from outside.

After a "net stop sshd / net start sshd" it again listens on both 
devices - one time (!) as before.

I found a workaround for me, I explicitely told ssh to listen on 
192.168.1.4 in sshd_config, now it works as expected although I lost the 
 "local" ssh possibility - but that's quite useless.

But anyhow - it seems to be a bug, or?
