When I try to use ssh to login locally, it closes the connection.

$ ssh -vvv Chloe@localhost
...
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).

However, I can login locally

Chloe@xps ~
$ login
login: Chloe

And open terminals fine. It is closing the connection from another computer as well. I followed all the steps in this answer (Why is my SSH connection being closed immediately after pubkey auth succeeds?) but it still fails.

$ ls -ld ~/.ssh
drwx------+ 1 Chloe None 0 Jul  5  2014 /home/Chloe/.ssh

All files are 600, group None.

$ ls -l .ssh

sshd running as Cygwin service.

$ cygrunsrv -Q sshd

Enabled public key authentication and recycled server.

$ grep Pubkey  /etc/sshd_config

The server log is empty.

$ ls -l /var/log/sshd.log

  • "The server log is empty" <-- I'd recommend fixing this before trying to figure out why logging in doesn't work.
