I spoke too soon. When I restored "UsePrivilegeSeparation yes" and restarted Windows, ssh connections failed again. This time the client log was:


C:\Documents and Settings\rdhw>ssh -vv 127.0.0.1
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005

... and there it hung, for ever. There were three sshd processes also doing nothing. No errors appeared in the Application Event Log.
