I changed my mounts to binary, set up the sshd config files, and started sshd. I have Sergey's coolview DLL installed. I would like to get this working so I can use it with CVS. When I run ssh, I get the message "You have no controlling tty and no DISPLAY. Cannot read passphrase." Do I need some special environment variables set to run this? I've also tried starting with the -t command, but this has the same effect. I am running ssh from a regular command prompt (not bash or tcsh). Even if I run under bash I get the same error message. I have run ssh-keygen to create my key in my .ssh directory. I started sshd with the -d command to get debugging info. After sshd starts up with this... debug: sshd version 1.2.21 [] debug: Initializing random number generator; seed file /etc/ssh_random_seed log: Server listening on port 22. log: Generating 768 bit RSA key. Generating p: ..........++ (distance 168) Generating q: ................++ (distance 184) Computing the keys... Testing the keys... Key generation complete. log: RSA key generation complete. .... and I run ssh I get this output from sshd... debug: Server will not fork when running in debugging mode. log: Connection from 24.128.36.106 port 3539 debug: Client protocol version 1.5; client software version 1.2.21 debug: Sent 768 bit public key and 1024 bit host key. debug: Encryption type: idea debug: Received session key; encryption turned on. debug: Attempting authentication for dyoung. log: Rsa authentication refused for dyoung: bad modes for /derek debug: RSA authentication for dyoung failed. fatal: Connection closed by remote host. debug: Calling cleanup 0x40e9e4(0x0) I don't know what "bad modes for /derek" means (/derek is my home directory). Do I need some special permissions on this directory? This directory is listed in my /etc/passwd file as well. sshd and ssh were started as the same user, and I'm also trying to login with this user name. Have I missed something? thanks for any help, -- Derek Young - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
