First off, thanks for your response and I apologize for my late reply.

Yes, I have verified that.

Windows line endings where?  Also, please be a little more specific 
about permissions.  On what file(s) are you referring to?  How could 
this happen if they are "too open"?  Usually, permissions being too open 
just results in a big security hole.  Does Cygwin do some type of 
detection of this and crap out w/o a proper error message if some 
permissions are too open?

Again, permissions too open w/o an error message?  I did not explicitly 
modify the permissions and the .ssh directory was created by 
ssh-keygen.  I did try to modify the permissions in Windows explorer, 
but I only seemed to bungle things up and now I have the "properties" 
dialogue for the .ssh directory stuck open (cannot close it) and I can't 
reboot yet because I'm running tests, so this may have to wait a little bit.

Also, the sshd server does need to access my .ssh directory and my 
id_rsa.pub, but I don't seem to understand nt security anymore.

This is a fresh install of Cygwin on a freshly installed Windows 7.

I did not use a passphrase.

Well, known_hosts doesn't matter on the server side and I have already 
added the Windows 7 key to my known_hosts file on my GNU/Linux client.  
I'm not using Putty, et. al., so I don't have a PPK file.

I suppose I can live with the inconvenience for now.  Thanks for your tips.

Daniel
