Interestingly I saw that post just before making my posting here. That was the last attempt I made to fix it. I tried to chown SYSTEM.SYSTEM .ssh/* which had no effect whatsoever on the ownership. This user also has full administrative rights. Here is the directory listing for /home/user/.ssh: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 user Kein 0 Jun 9 17:11 . drwxr-xr-x 3 user Kein 0 Jun 9 16:09 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 user Kein 225 Jun 9 17:11 authorized_keys -rw-r--r-- 1 user Kein 887 Jun 9 17:11 id_rsa -rw-r--r-- 1 user Kein 225 Jun 9 17:11 id_rsa.pub -rw-r--r-- 1 user Kein 447 Jun 9 17:12 known_hosts However, given that they are all mode 644 I would think that would be enough. I've also seen this thread http://archive.erdelynet.com/ssh-l/2001-06/msg00057.php which indicates 644 should be enough (what I would also tend to think). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
