Hiya.
I was happily using ssh on cygwin on NT for the last 6 months, but
recently had to migrate to Win2K, and haven't been able to use SSH since
then:
I'm trying to open a connection to a server that only takes publickey
authentication. I generate a key, put my identity.pub in the
authorized_keys file, try to connect, and always get "Permission denied
(publickey)"
At first I thought it was because of the world-readable-identity-file
problem, but then I gather Corinna adapted openssh to handle that. I have
no problem getting to this machine using SecureCRT, but if I try the
identity key created by SecureCRT as the key for cygwin-command-line
openssh it complains "PEM_read_PrivateKey failed" in the debug output and
asks for a passphrase, regardless of whether the key needs one or not. I
also can get to this machine fine using ssh from a separate linux box.
I've been over the readme file and most of it seems to deal with sshd. I
figure I'm missing something completely obvious. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
