Check the permissions on the public key file and authorized_keys in ~/.ssh (and the .ssh directory itself). If the target were Linux you could also look in /var/log/secure to see why the remote closed the connection. On a cygwin remote system I don't know where the log is located, but somebody else on the list can probably tell you. -- Jim Garrison (j...@acm.org) PGP Keys at http://www.jhmg.net RSA 0x04B73B7F DH 0x70738D88 -- 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
