I am very green with Cygwin and inherited a system where we had ssh passwordless
authentication working with dsa keys.

I needed to create a new ID that required a password and I was successfully able
to do that, but it appears I broke the passwordless authentication in the
process, as those accounts are no longer working.

Has anyone encountered this?   If so, where did I go wrong and how can I fix it?

John Ward
