I did that, and it definitely makes a difference. No more mode/ownership errors in the event log, but now when I log on I get asked for passwords/passphrases three separate times: c:\cygnus\bin>ssh localhost Enter passphrase for key '/c/.ssh/id_rsa': Enter passphrase for key '/c/.ssh/id_dsa': stanton AT localhost's password: I think I prefer getting an error message...
