I have two machines with what look like identical cygwin installations
on them, but the Administrator account on one of them doesn't have
super-user privileges. This causes sshd not to have access to
/home/some-user/.ssh (which is restricted to only "some-user") and thus
prevents key-based authentication. Regular password-based
authentication works, so the problem isn't sshd itself. Logging in as
the Administrator and doing "ls /home/some-user/.ssh/*" gives me a
"permission denied" error, which also confirms that the problem is with
the permissions of the Administrator account and not sshd.
The Administrator NT accounts (and Administrators NT groups) seem
identical on the two machines, as are permissions for the C:\cygwin
directory. Both systems had old cygwin installations on them that we
blew away before installing the latest. What am I missing?
