Hi,
I've been running sshd and it recently stopped working. I'm not sure
whether I did anything to it, but I've managed to track down the problem.
If I use privilege separation (ssh-host-config), as soon as I type the
password in, the message "Connection to localhost closed." is
displayed. However, if I don't use privilege separation, everything
works as it should. I've tried syncing the groups and passwd files with
no success.
This one is puzzling me; any ideas?
I experienced the same problem last Wednesday, 8/18. I created a fresh
local mirror with the enhanced mkcygwget script. I didn't try to
install sshd without using privilege separation. I ran out of time. I
did try various clean install options, removing my known hosts files,
etc. I don't know if it matters but I did add one option to this
install. I added the NFS package to my normal full installation of all
packages.
I did find one oddity to what you report. I use scp daily. The scp
function works correctly with privilege separation while I received the
"connection to localhost closed message" trying to ssh into the PC.
