Embarrassing to say, I'm really not sure what constitutes a "console" or "shell". To explain what does and does not seem to be working: 1) I have two windows computers on the same wireless network, both with openssh for windows installed from the link previously sent. 2) On computer 1, sshd is running, but when connecting with "ssh localhost" from the command prompt on that same computer, sshd seems to be accepting the password, but closing immediately (see output in previous messages). 3) On computer 2, sshd runs, and I can connect on that computer from the command prompt or from putty. 4) When I try to connect from computer 2 to computer 1 (from putty or command prompt), the session closes immediately, as when I try to connect from Computer 1. 5) Also, Computer 2 does not seem to be accepting the password input from computer 1. Haven't really tried to troubleshoot this yet, perhaps this is an sshd_config issue.
