i think i found a solution/workaround! - I had a useraccount 'user' with password in windows that is the same user that logs in over ssh - i stopped the windows service - in cygwin, i deleted the folder /var/empty - then, i recreated the folder /var/empty (default access rights) - in the services panel, open properties for the ssh service - change the account in the second tab to "user" with the password included - start the service the service now starts, can use the /var/empty folder with the right permissions and allows ssh connection! i'm a happy man, time for turkey! :P -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/1.7.0-51%3A-Problem-using-ssh-public-private-key-authentication-tp24513829p26913810.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
