i tried it, but cygwin1-20050617.dll doesn't work, too.

btw, the unsuccessful login via zsh produces a error message window:
"zsh.exe - Application Error: The application failed to
  initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click OK to terminate the 
application."

i didn't notice this before, because my
cygwin box is normally running without monitor or mouse.
and i did a quick "chmod -R a+X /", with no effect.

sorry to hear that ...

i tried to get strace to follow sshd during the ssh connection attempt,
but the child ssh process isn't traced for some reason.
i attached the (incomplete) strace logs, as well as 'cygcheck -svr'
for both cygwin releases in question

thank you for your help :o)
