I don't run sshd on the machine (as far as I know). I only ssh out. That works fine without a password. But... But I've just tried setting up sshd on two Windows machines just now. I ran in to a few complications due to being a novice, but it eventually worked on Windows 7. I've still not gotten sshd to work on Windows 10 if my ssh client is on another machine. That seems to be some sort of network connection or firewall problem. I can ssh from the local Win10 machine to the local Win10 machine though. I have only one account and I can ssh in to that without a password using authorized_keys. Does that answer your question? Is there a simpler or more helpful way that I can gather data for you? I don't mind reinstalling the operating system if that would help. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
