Hi,

I downloaded setupssh-7.3p1-2.exe  for Windows x64.

I created private public keys and set it up accordingly.

After entering the passphrase, I see authentication succeeded message but then

the connection to the remote host gets closed immediately.


Some of the Client output:

************************

...

Enter passphrase for key '/home/user2/.ssh/id_rsa':
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).

Some of the output from remote host OpenSSHD.log. It says  "seteuid 1084961: Operation not permitted" as seen below at the end.
