Version is 1.7.12 ssh-host-config -y was the command I apologize for pasting/posting misinformation.
"* Warning: Creating the user 'cyg_server' failed! Reason: System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. " I did a new install. One other upgraded openssh and reversed it. The version he is running is somewhere between the legacy and the current. 1.7.5 works, 1.7.7 works, 1.7.10 fails on $ hg clone ssh://... And 1.7.12 will NOT run sshd on our configurations of Win7 Enterprise, nor will ssh(1) do anything with $ ssh -F <some config file> Or appear to get info from the usual locations.... michmoor(at)5CB2024JR8 ~ $ ssh gene3 michmoor(at)gene3's password: michmoor(at)5CB2024JR8 ~ $ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa gene3 Enter passphrase for key '/home/michmoor/.ssh/id_rsa': So ssh(1) isn't even reading the default identity file, unless forced. After all the files were configured, ssh client is still ignoring them, and I cannot get sshd running, nor can I establish connection with ssh-agent for ssh-add If RHEL6 were a little less flaky with its X-server on VMware Player, we would not be having this conversation. I started X this morning and it crashed, so I have to go through VMware tools once again to rebuild config files. -----Original Message----- > Several folk here use Cygwin with windows 7 enterprise as a tool to access > linux servers.
