I checked the following below. The user's home directory has the proper permissions (755), the .ssh directory is 700, and the files underneath the .ssh directory is 600. By default StrictModes is set to no.
I still can't log in. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and regards, Mr. Auteria W.

Do you have "StrictModes yes" in your sshd_conf file? If so, then the server will ignore the keys in the .ssh sub-directory if the home directory is writeable by anyone other than the Owner. slide -- 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 -- 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
