Problems on ssh and Cygwin

Thu Apr 4 01:03:12 EST 2002

Hi,

I was given you name by a colleague of mine as someone who may be able
to help me with ssh and Cygwin.

I've set up Cygwin and ssh - but every time I run ssh it asks me for my
password. I want to set this up so I can use keys for the user and host
pair to stop this happening, but have had no success.

The id_dsa.pub file generated by ssh-keygen actually starts with
"ssh-dss", and if I manually change this to "ssh-dsa" then "ssh -v -v
-v" says that "id_dsa type -1", but does print a line saying "read PEM",
which is what we get on our unix machine.

Is there any way I can find out why it's not accepting the keys / id_dsa
/ id_dsa.pub / authorized_keys2, etc as putting -v -v -v doesn't really
say why it's ignoring the key and dropping into the password protected
bit.

Attached is the output of ssh -v -v -v to hope that this might give you
some insight.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give,
