I see...I'll be checking for updates manually then.I thought this system is email based, since the only way I know how to reply is via email. Am I missing something? However, back to the main problem.... I don't have much experience with linux (didn't have need to use it till today, although I had it installed a few years ago, just out of curiosity) and it's the first time I use CYGWIN so I guess that's the reason why I was kicking in the dark. Thanks for the answers above, they were really enlightening. I will try to re-install and configure my server on 2nd computer (still have problems there), while I already solved the problem on 1st one (for both I use the same setup approach). I found out that the problem was with the way I was adding keys to "authorized_keys" file; I used "cat" command to append the key but I didn't append a new line, which resulted in very long key. When I deleted the content of that file and tried again it worked (I always append with new line...I suppose that empty line in that file shouldn't cause problems). However, on 2nd computer that didn't seem to solve the problem so I'll have to investigate further by first re-installing the CYGWIN according to your recommendations. I hope that doing that will solve my problem...will report back here later. Thanks again.
