Dear Mr. Marco, Thanks for your reply. the output of ls -l /var |grep empty is as follows drwxr-x--x+ 1 cyg_server Administrators 0 Jul 13 13:47 empty. What I have noticed that after a period of time the owner changes to SYSTEM instead of cyg_server. So, I just run the following: Chmod 700 /var/empty. Chown cyg_server /var/empty. So I can connect to my server over ssh but with a password not public key. Best regards. -----Original Message----- From: Marco Atzeri [mailto:marco.atz...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2016 12:33 PM To: Ahmad Alkhatib Subject: Re: Problem With SShd
