Works fine here. It appears that the issue is the configuration on
plum's server. Some things to check:

1) make sure that you have opened port 22/tcp in plum's firewall

2) make sure that /etc/hosts.allow includes the line 'sshd : ALL' (or
'sshd : ALL : allow'

3) for localhost testing (e.g 'ssh localhost' on plum) add the following
to /etc/hosts.allow *before* 'all : PARANOID : deny'

'all : localhost 127.0.0.1 : allow'

or 'all : localhost 127.0.0.1 [::1] : allow' if you're using cygwin-1.7.

4) You might consider installing the syslogd or syslog-ng service on
plum.  Shut down sshd, run 'syslog-config' or 'syslog-ng-config', then
'cygrunsrv -S syslogd' or 'cygrunsrv -S syslog-ng'.  THEN restart sshd.

Now, you can try to ssh to plum, and tcp_wrapper errors will be reported
to plum's /var/log/messages, as well as some other sshd errors.
