All the documentation for ssh says that it uses $HOME/.ssh by default to find then user's keys etc. For me, HOME is /cygdrive/d/home/luke, but ssh *always* complains about being unable to create the directory /home/luke. This strongly suggests that ssh is *not* doing a getenv(HOME). Anyway, it turns out that there was no /home directory under /cygdrive/d, so I created one, then did a: mount d:\\home /home and things behaved more sensibly. I don't understand why there was no /home. Probably related to the fact that there have been several older Cygwin installs. luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
