Hello everyone, I´m using cygwin for some time now but today i ran into a problem. I´ve got a user-request that they want to be able to scp files to a host without entering their password everytime. No problem i thought, deploy the public-key on the server and that should do it, but it won´t work.
I´ve read some manual stuff and came to the conclusion that i should use the ntsec variable. I do this because i think the problem lies with the file-permissions on the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file (group and world readable). Well, no problem, set the variable, fire up cygwin and what happens ? Everything is messed up, can´t even write to my home-directory anymore. I think it´s because i´m a domain-user and not the local computer user. I reinstalled Cygwin several times and always ran into the same problem. (Domain user is not included in /etc/passwd ... only the local ones). So, what to do now ? I´ve kinda run into a dead end for me :-) -- Daniel Holtkamp Riege Software International GmbH System Administration Mollsfeld 10 40670 Meerbusch, Germany Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +49-2159-9148-41 Fax: +49-2159-9148-11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
