Lucky you - 3 days ago this was posted to this list. It has helped others - I
have the same problem but haven't gotten around to trying it. Hope it works for
you.

I was having the same issue on 2 different boxes in that as soon as I would
authenticate it would close the connection. 1 was Win2000 and the other was
WINXP both professional editions. Here is what I found: 1st when you install
CYGWIN it creates a new user in user admin for 2000 you have to enable this
account from admin tools then set a password on it. Next go to services and
set the same password on the CYGWIN sshd service. 2nd I went back to the
CYGWIN install directory and re-ran CYGWIN Setup.exe when you get to the
packages in the upper right hand corner click on view then scroll down to
openssh then click on it until it goes back to the 3.8.1p1 version and
finish the install. Evidentally there is a bug in 3.9 that will not work on
2000 or XP. By the way I have both Windows OS' with all the critical updates
not sure if it matters or not.
Good Luck.
