I can use ssh with the administrator account but I'm having trouble using
ssh with my other user accounts. I'm reading
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README and it says:

"You can create the private and public keys for a user now by running

  /usr/bin/ssh-user-config

under the users account."

I tried that and it says:

bash-3.00$ /usr/bin/ssh-user-config
There is no home directory set for you in /etc/passwd.
Setting $HOME is not sufficient!

Hmmm.... I'm confused. Can someone tell me how to use ssh with something
other than the Administrator account?

Thanks,
Siegfried
