I think I'm missing something here. Isn't it wierd that it is looking in /home/dan for keys and identities when I'm logging in as the new user "fshd"? I ran mkpasswd and mkgroup to /etc/passwd and /etc/group and when I ssh localhost -l fshd it seems to login and authenticate the password but then closes immediately. I'm wondering if it is looking for the .bash files and not finding them ...ie file not found....and then closing. I copied the .bash files from skel but that didn't solve the problem. is this the problem? debug3: channel 0: close_fds r -1 w -1 e 6 c -1 debug3: fd 1 is not O_NONBLOCK debug3: fd 2 is not O_NONBLOCK Connection to localhost closed. I just want to be able to login to this server as user fshd. fshd is currently a user in windows, and member of the "users" group thanks Dan -- 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/
