OK, nothing unusual here. Does user "dan" has a non-empty password? If no, are you sure you are usin= g the correct exact password? The output above shows what happens when you use t= he wrong password, uppercase/lowercase/length has to be correct. Did you change anything in /etc/sshd_config? Let's try public key: As user "dan" run ssh-user-config, it should ask you a few things and take = some time to generate your private/public keys. Check that the keys were created in /home/dan/.ssh (names are identity, id_= dsa, id_rsa, and the same with .pub extension -- not all 3 are necessary but at = least one of the id_[dr]sa is); if they were not created check the permissions on ~/.ssh, they should be "drwxr---- dan None". Run `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys` (change id_dsa.pub if= you don't have the rsa key). Try again `ssh dan@localhost`, this time you are using password-less login (public key). --=20 Ren=E9 Berber -- 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/
