Hi
I have happily used Cygwin ssh from "DOS" command prompt for many
years but
on upgrading to V1.7 get this error message. Further info:
OS: Vista
/etc/passwd line:
tda:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:U-laptop1\tda,S-1-5-21-2414507100-3802266639-3593817948-1000:/home/tda:/bin/bash
The interesting thing is that if I open up a second command prompt and
run an
arbitrary cygwin command (like "less filename"). ssh successfully finds
/home/tda/.ssh (but only for so long as that second command is running).
I suspect this is something to do with the changes to mounts, but so
far I've
been unable to find a fix.
I think we need more information about what you're actually doing and what
your configuration is. Please review the problem reporting guidelines found

OK. Steps to reproduce:
1. Open command prompt, type:
c:\ ssh fleet
Could not create directory 'c/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host 'fleet (192.168.1.30)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 17:33:a7:32:cd:e1:04:ed:d7:3b:dc:11:c6:da:3c:42.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
2. Open second command prompt, type:
c:\ less main.c
3. Leave less running, return to first prompt and repeat login attempt:
c:\ ssh fleet
Linux fleet 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 21:36:00 UTC 2011 i686
(login OK)
cygcheck.out is output of cygcheck -s -v -r with less NOT running.
cygcheck1.out is output of cygcheck -s -v -r with less running.
The difference below looks relevant:
cygcheck.out:
Output from c:\cygwin\bin\id.exe
UID: 0(tda) GID: 0(root)
0(root) 545(Users)
Indeed. Some thoughts:
1. Check that you're using Cygwin's ssh.
2. Try unsetting "HOME" before running ssh.
3. Try running from a DOS prompt that is run as administrator.
4. Try a different directory.
