Hello cygwin, Ok, i just browsed 10 pages of the mailing-list archives for the problem but that did not change anything. :-(
I´ve got a new Cygwin install on my WinXP machine and a updated openssh on the RedHat Linux Machine. I got ntsec usage running fine with correct accounts (domain user n stuff). Doing a "ssh unixserver" works fine, asks me for a password and i´m in, but i want public key authentication (for batch-file usage). I ran ssh-user-config and ssh-host-config. on WinXP: ls -al ~/.ssh/ total 3 drwx------ 2 holtkamp RSIDUS-a 0 Apr 2 10:53 . drwx------ 3 holtkamp RSIDUS-a 0 Mar 28 16:04 .. -rw------- 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 883 Mar 28 15:27 id_rsa -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 224 Mar 28 15:27 id_rsa.pub -rw-r--r-- 1 holtkamp RSIDUS-a 246 Apr 2 10:53 known_hosts on RH-Linux: ls -al ~/.ssh/ drwx------ 2 holtkamp holtkamp 1024 Apr 2 10:52 . drwx------ 14 holtkamp holtkamp 1024 Mar 28 11:00 .. -rw-r----- 1 holtkamp holtkamp 224 Mar 28 15:27 .authorized_keys -rw------- 1 holtkamp holtkamp 887 Mar 28 11:10 id_rsa -rw-r--r-- 1 holtkamp holtkamp 240 Mar 28 11:10 id_rsa.pub -rw-r--r-- 1 holtkamp holtkamp 3035 Mar 28 11:11 known_hosts The id_rsa.pub on the Cygwin-Machine matches the .authorized_keys on the Linux Machine. SSH with -vvv gives me the following (only listing interestening part) debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 1 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/holtkamp/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 1 debug1: Host 'midas.rsidus.riege.de' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/holtkamp/.ssh/known_hosts:1 debug1: bits set: 1594/3191 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: kex_derive_keys debug1: newkeys: mode 1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: done: ssh_kex2. debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST debug1: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: try pubkey: /home/holtkamp/.ssh/id_rsa debug3: send_pubkey_test debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup keyboard-interactive debug3: remaining preferred: password So what now ? I don´t know what i made wrong, permissions are right n stuff, connection with password works fine and the debug shows no problem with the key ... i would say it´s a connection problem because it says "did on send a packet" but i´m unsure ...
