Connection closed on ssh localhost command - Please help

Hi all

I have installed cygwin and sshd on win2000 as a service.

However when I go to run the command ssh -v localhost I get a connection
closed. Output follows:

$ ssh -v localhost > test

So I get in ok but can seem to stay connected. I have checked the archives
for similar problems but there seems to be no clear fix. Does anyone have a
summary of what I need to do to logon successfully.

Thanks all
