This is probably an easy question for some.  I can't get my cygwin client
connected to a redhat linux machine running sshd.  I have no problem ssh
connecting to the linux machine in question when I do it from another linux
machine, but cygwin under win2000 isn't happy.  I have all my files in
order, or at least I have them in the same order they are on the linux
machines.  id_dsa, id_dsa.pub, authorized_keys2, known_hosts2.. My public
key from the cygwin machine is in the authorized_keys2 file on the target
server...

Every attempt ends, thus:

Enter passphrase for DSA key '/home/user1/.ssh/id_dsa':
debug: read DSA private key done
debug: sig size 20 20
debug: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug: authentications that can continue: publickey
debug: authmethod_lookup publickey
debug: authmethod_is_enabled publickey
debug: next auth method to try is publickey
debug: we did not send a packet, disable method
debug: authmethod_lookup publickey
debug: no more auth methods to try
Unable to find an authentication method
debug: Calling cleanup 0x414cf0(0x0)

This is with maxium verbosity enabled.  It sends a publickey packet to the
server and gets squat back.  Is this a permission problem?  I mean
user1 AT MYMACHINE doesn't really mean anything to the server... except that a
matching key is on the other side. I did check for ^M's in the key files...
all is clean.

Any ideas out there?

Bob Colliver
