I've verified on two machines running XP Pro with up-to-date Cygwin
installations that upgrading from openssh 3.8.1p1-1 to openssh 3.9p1-1
breaks sshd when running with privilege separation (the default).
Clients (including "ssh localhost") can not log into the Cygwin sshd.
Either turning off privilege separation in /etc/sshd_config or
downgrading and rebooting resolves the problem.
As a temporary measure, please add the -r option when starting sshd.
I haven't found the exact culprit so far, but the above flag will help.
Thanks for the report. It's embarassing that I didn't find the error
myself since I had accidentally switched off privilege separation a few
days ago :-(
