This is something I am confused.

Here is my crontab,

$ crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.5456 installed on Tue Jan 10 18:22:18 2006)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.8 2004/12/21 16:14:41 corinna Exp $)
USER=linq
USERNAME=linq
HOME=/cygdrive/c/home/linq
HOMEDRIVE=C:
* * * * * echo $LOGNAME > /tmp/logname 2>&1
* * * * * echo "home=$HOME user=$USER username=$USERNAME hostname=$HOSTNAME 
homedrive=$HOMEDRIVE" > /tmp/ulog 2>&1
* * * * * ssh -vv hican > /tmp/ssh_log 2>&1

And here is the contents of /tmp/ulog and /tmp/logname which log environment 
variables,

$ cat /tmp/ulog
home=/cygdrive/c/home/linq user=linq username=linq hostname=linq2 
homedrive=C:

$ cat /tmp/logname
linq

You can see that the home is on C drive which is my local drive.

But here is /tmp/ssh_log which logs the exact ssh errors, and you can see 
that it goes to access H drive.

Here is /etc/ssh_config,

Cron is running, I think the problem is SSH does not work in cron.
