I agree, that looks fine. So since this is all the information > you've given, besides a possible implication that you can ssh to the $HOST > machine from a Linux machine, I can't really help much. I do appreciate your help, and hopefully I have included enough info this time :-) > If you can ssh in > from a Linux machine, try comparing all differences between that machine > and the problem "box" and see if you can find what's missing. Note I can ssh in using password authrntication from my Cygwin box hence the subject line but you are correct I should have explicitly stated this. > You could > also turn on debugging on the server to help, though I think the message > you got already is pretty clear about what it thinks the problem is. Check > the permissions real close (use 'getfacl' if you need to), I too am reasonably sure this is a 'local permissions' problem i.e. The remote sshd daemon does not believe my identity file is secure My problem is that I do not know what the proper permissions should be, and AFAIK these are the permissions set by the the Cygwin install proceedure as I do not believe I have touched them $ ls -ld / drwxrwxr-x+ 20 admins Administ 14520320 Feb 10 16:27 / $ ls -ld /home drwxrwxr-x+ 8 admins Administ 4096 Nov 3 2001 /home $ ls -ld /home/nhv drwxr-xr-x+ 21 nhv None 32768 Feb 13 06:29 /home/nhv $ ls -ld /home/nhv/.ssh drwx------+ 3 nhv None 4096 Feb 12 13:49 /home/nhv/.ssh $ ls -ld /home/nhv/.ssh/identity -rw------- 1 nhv None 525 Feb 12 14:51 /home/nhv/.ssh/identity attached find the result of cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out Thanks again Norman
