Hi,

I was hoping that someone could cast some = light on my=20 ssh misery.

I wish to connect to one of my freeBSD = servers via ssh=20 from a NT environment so I installed B20 onto my NT server/SP4=20 box.

I ran mkpasswd and mkgroup to = create the=20 relevant /etc/ files.

I then downloaded and extracted = ssh-1.2.26-cygwinb20.tar.bz2 from Sergey=20 Okhapkin excellent site.

Setting CYGWIN to " tty" and = I tried=20 to run ssh-agent. This fails with

Bad=20 modes or owner for directory '/tmp/ssh-pik'
echo Agent creation = failed, no=20 agent started

but ls -l /tmp gives

total=20 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 Administrators =20 None &nb= sp; =20 0 Nov 9 05:24 ssh-pik

or=20 after I chown it:-

total=20 0
drwxrwxrwa 1=20 pik &nbs= p;=20 None &nb= sp; =20 0 Nov 9 05:24 ssh-pik

O.K. I=20 say I can do it by hand so I just run ssh1 -v sol and I=20 get

SSH=20 Version 1.2.26 [i586-pc-cygwin32], protocol version 1.5.
Standard=20 version. Does not use RSAREF.
KELLY: ssh_connect: getuid 1001 = geteuid=20 1001 anon 1
KELLY: Connecting to sol [194.223.245.192] port = 22.
KELLY:=20 Connection established.
KELLY: Remote protocol version 1.5, remote = software=20 version 1.2.26
KELLY: Waiting for server public key.
KELLY: = Received=20 server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024 bits).
KELLY: Host = 'sol' is=20 known and matches the host key.
KELLY: Initializing random; seed file = //h//.ssh/random_seed
KELLY: Encryption type: idea
KELLY: Sent = encrypted=20 session key.
KELLY: Installing crc compensation attack = detector.
KELLY:=20 Received encrypted confirmation.
KELLY: No agent.
KELLY: Trying = RSA=20 authentication with key 'pik'
KELLY: Received RSA challenge from=20 server.
Enter passphrase for RSA key 'pik':

If I now enter the passphrase nothing = happens, the=20 window no longer responds to typing.

I can=20 recover my prompt with a ctl-brk.

Please could someone point out the foolish = mistake=20 that I have injected into this procedure.

Thanks,

= Paul
