The point at issue here is that the ssh server (sshd) is on a Linux box,
not Cygwin, and about which we know nothing.
You have already said that your Linux box's admin is not available today.
Perhaps you should wait till you can get help from her/him. (S)he will be
able to look at log files etc to find out why the connection from the
Cygwin ssh client (ssh) is failing. It might be a configuration issue on
the Linux sshd server, or the public key in your account on the Linux
server may not have the correct permissions (or may be missing).
There is not a lot else the Cygwin list can help with as it appears from
the verbose output you previously posted that the Cygwin ssh client is
doing exactly what it should and the problem lies with the Linux sshd
server.
