Version is 1.7.12

ssh-host-config -y was the command  I apologize for pasting/posting misinformation. 

"* Warning: Creating the user 'cyg_server' failed!  Reason:
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.
"

I did a new install.  One other upgraded openssh and reversed it.  The version he is running is somewhere between the legacy and the current.    1.7.5 works, 1.7.7 works,  1.7.10 fails on 

$ hg clone ssh://...

And 1.7.12 will NOT run sshd on our configurations of Win7 Enterprise, nor will ssh(1) do anything with 

$ ssh -F <some config file>
Or  appear to get info from the usual locations....

michmoor(at)5CB2024JR8 ~
$ ssh gene3
michmoor(at)gene3's password:

michmoor(at)5CB2024JR8 ~
$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa gene3
Enter passphrase for key '/home/michmoor/.ssh/id_rsa':

So ssh(1) isn't even reading the default identity file, unless forced.


After all the files were configured, ssh client is still ignoring them, and I cannot get sshd running, nor can I establish connection with ssh-agent for ssh-add

If RHEL6 were a little less flaky with its X-server on VMware Player, we would not be having this conversation.  I started X this morning and it crashed, so I have to go through VMware tools once again to rebuild config files.

"most recent" is not a version number.
Could you at least clarify from which version to which version did you upgrade  ?

what about providing same data like
Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Usually the file in ~/.ssh should have a 600 permission, otherwise ssh refuse to use them.
Wich permission do you see ?
