I've recently installed the latest Cygwin packages (as of 05/04/2012) to a Windows 7 machine and when using ssh I couldn't figure out why it couldn't find my private key in ~/.ssh/. Executing ssh with -vvv I see:
debug1: Trying private key: /.ssh/id_rsa debug3: no such identity: /.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Trying private key: /.ssh/id_dsa debug3: no such identity: /.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Trying private key: /.ssh/id_ecdsa debug3: no such identity: /.ssh/id_ecdsa I'm at a loss as to why it's looking in the root directory. Sure enough moving my private key there worked, but that's a security hole. Checking my system for an errant HOME value, all seems to be inline: $ echo $HOME /home/csutclif Any ideas why ssh is looking in the root directory?
