I assure you that /home/Andrew DeFaria exists. It has exists for quite some time. By and large Cygwin's OK with it. Some things don't work with it. ssh-user-config is just another one of those things... (I could remake my home directory to not have a space in it however I'm of the opinion that since space is a valid character for a filename that programs should be coded to handle such cases). Note I also tried: $ ln -s "/home/Andrew DeFaria" /home/Andrew and changing my home directory in /etc/passwd to /home/Andrew as well as trying to use /home/Andrew~1 (the DOS mangled name for /home/Andrew DeFaria) in /etc/passwd to no avail. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
