Audit ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config to reset all the permissions and state back to the default. 2. Remove Cygwin and reinstall, running ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config once "openssh" has been installed and after reading /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ openssh*. If that doesn't work, then before fiddling, read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found at the link below to report the issue here. Then someone here may be able to help you track down the problem. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
