Instead, /.ssh/id_rsa is checked. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00629.html. In short, your /etc/passwd doesn't list your home directory, so ~ doesn't always expand as expected. The fix is to edit /etc/passwd by hand and specify your home directory explicitly there. -- Adam Dinwoodie Software Engineer, Carrier Systems Division Metaswitch Networks -- 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
