The service did not start due to a login failure.
Sounds like sshd_service isn't allowed to log in. Check its permissions.
Hello again,
sorry to bother you, this this time, fallowing your instruction i could
start ssh daemon, i did try id and it seems to run fine with password
authentification, but as soon as i use the 'ssh-user-config' in order to
use the PKA, i can't login anymore (actualy i can but i'm diconnected
after 1 litle second), here is the end of ssh -vv
Administrateur@localhost after i use the ssh-user-config:
<snip>
the funny thing is after i delete all id from /home/Administrateur/.ssh/
i can log again with password authentification.
so i did look for log but i couldn't find any AUTH.log in /var/log
nether SyslogFacility in /etc/sshd_config.
(i even try to write SyslogFacility=AUTH in /etc/sshd_config, but
nothing happen).
so do you know why the session closes right after it starts?
Thank you again, for your help
I'd recommend starting the server with debugging enabled and looking
at the output there. It's usually more instructive. To do this, I'd
recommend stopping your current sshd server, copying
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config, and then modifying the copy to install a new
server (with a new name) with the added "-d -d -d" (on the cygrunsrv line).
Running that will install the debug-enabled sshd server. Starting that
server and trying to log in as you describe will generate some log info for
you. I'd recommend reading through the sshd man page if you have questions
about the options available for this. Also, be aware that you'll need to
restart the debug server each time you finish a session.
