I see that too. > The ssh-add program is unable to add SSH keys because the ssh-agent > program doesn't appear to be creating its socket file properly in > /tmp. AFAIKT the socket file is created - but the ssh-agent process dies shortly after being started. > 1. Install OpenSSH 5.9p1-1 in Cygwin (or upgrade to it) > 2. Run the ssh-agent program spawning a bash shell > $ ssh-agent bash This seems to happen only if ssh-agent is told to spawn another process. Running ssh-agent without arguments works fine for me. > Platform: Windows 7 64-bit XP 32-bit here. > Workarounds: Downgrade to OpenSSH_5.8p1 using Cygwin's setup.exe.
