As usual the logs only show what happens, but they don't show why.
I installed OpenSSH-5.8p1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I tried to connect from
32 and 64 bit Cygwin machines using ssh 5.8p1 and I tried it from a
Linux machine with ssh 5.5p1. No problems at all. I removed the ECDSA
host key to get the same "Can't load host key" message... still no
problems at all.
What about deleting and reinstalling sshd as a service? Maybe that
helps.
$ cygrunsrv -E sshd
$ cygrunsrv -R sshd
$ cd /etc
$ mkdir OLD-KEYS
$ mv ssh_host* OLD-KEYS
$ rmdir /var/empty
$ rm -f /var/log/sshd.log
$ ssh-host-config
$ mv OLD-KEYS/* .
$ chown cyg_server ssh_host*
$ cygrunsrv -S sshd
