/etc/passwd from a cygwin prompt points to /cygdrive/c/home/jhood ... just like it should (the .ssh/authorized_keys is in under there...) the keys are in both .ssh/authorized_keys and .ssh/authorized_keys2... I also have them (just in case...) in /home/jhood/.ssh/authorized_keys and /home/jhood/.ssh/authorized_keys2 the debug output from ssh -vvv is: 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 privkey: /home/jhood/.ssh/identity debug3: no such identity: /home/jhood/.ssh/identity debug1: try pubkey: /home/jhood/.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 debug1: try pubkey: /home/jhood/.ssh/id_dsa 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 debug3: authmethod_is_enabled keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is keyboard-interactive debug2: userauth_kbdint debug2: we sent a keyboard-interactive packet, wait for reply debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug3: userauth_kbdint: disable: no info_req_seen debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup password debug3: remaining preferred: debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password debug1: next auth method to try is password [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: logging in with the password always works...
