Well - this turned out to be mainly caused by odd Window bug: the alert
window always popped up UNDER the Putty window ||-(
After I realized that I was able to bring that popup up and it read,
that Putty had found no suitable, common authentication scheme.
So I reversed some of the stronger SSHD settings that I had done based
on the second link
(http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/Ssh/SecureShell.html). After
relaxing the PassWordAuthentication setting I was finally able to log
in...

I had no trouble installing copSSH and doing and opening an ssh window
locally using putty. However, I need functionality from cygwin other
than ssh, and copSSH is not intended to work with the full-blown
cygwin.
I have attempted to follow the instructions posted at'How to install
OpenSSH sshd server and sftp server on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP or
Windows Vista' (http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html) and
http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/vista-cygwin.txt, and have succeeded in
getting sshd to run. However, when I try to connect locally using
Code:
--------------------
ssh -vvv localhost
--------------------
(or more explicit formulations) I get the following:
Code:
--------------------
OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8h 28 May 2008
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /home/cheesesteak/.ssh/identity type 0
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/cheesesteak/.ssh/id_rsa.
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
<previous line repeated 24 more times>
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type 'Proc-Type:'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type 'DEK-Info:'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug1: identity file /home/cheesesteak/.ssh/id_rsa type 1
debug1: identity file /home/cheesesteak/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
--------------------
During a previous attempted installation, I had only asked for an RSA2
key. Since it it complained about RSA1, I asked for both RSA1 and RSA2
keys to be set up but obviously that did not help.

It was suggested to me that I try using DSA keys instead of RSA. I did
that, and got the same kind of message when issuing "sshd localhost"
complaining about format (e.g., unknown key type; not a RSA1 keyfile;
missing whitespace) as in my previous post. In fact, I get the same
kind of message for RSA1, RSA2, and DSA keys. The private key files in
my home/.ssh directory have the same format as their counterparts in the
sshd daemon's private key files, located in /etc.
I expect I am missing one small detail. :confused:

Have you seen this thread concerning adding additional cygwin functionality?

Thanks, yes, I saw it prior to my previous post here. One post in
that thread, whose topic is adding cygwin packages to copssh, says "This
is not supported as copssh is a minimalistic and specialized solution."
And even the post of the person who has added other cygwin packages to
copssh cautions "Even [if] adding new packages is not officially
supported, it seams (sic) to work. I'm just playing around, so *I do not
recommend this for production environments*!" That post also raises the
spectre of possible security risks - not good for an ssh installation!
I found that I can log using openssh onto the Vista 64 box if either I
do "ssh computerName" locally, where computerName corresponds to the
external IP of the Vista computer in the /etc/hosts file, or if I log in
with ssh from another machine. ssh localhost seems to be the one case
that does not function as expected. No problem with the same set up
under XP btw.
