I'm assuming you meant: $ chmod 750 ~ $ chgrp 18 ~ $ chmod 700 ~/.ssh Since obviously world-readable ~ is less secure than user-only-readable ~. In which case, 1. seems better to me, because it actually grants SYSTEM permissions where it needs them, rather than granting them somewhere else and Windows weirdness making things work. -- 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/
