I modified line 556 of ssh-host-config to be:
if cygrunsrv -I sshd -d "CYGWIN sshd" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-D -r" -u
sshd_server -w "${_password}" -e "CYGWIN=${_cygwin}"
Notice the -r.
I restarted sshd, but I still get:
$ ssh Administrator@momtst5
Administrator@momtst5's password:
Connection to momtst5 closed.
The connection closes immediately as others have mentioned.
Is that the form of -r that you mean?
