I'm not sure if this should be directed at the cygwin or ssh lists. Because I haven't had any troubles with ssh keys in the past on Unix, I figured I'd start here.
No matter what I do with filesystem permissions, I can't get ssh key-based authentication to work. I have tried both with StrictModes no and yes. I've reconfigured my sshd.exe to run through services with the arguments: "-D -ddd" -1 /tmp/sshd.1 -2 /tmp/sshd.2, so I can get the debugging information necessary. debug1: userauth-request for user hayward service ssh-connection method publickey debug1: attempt 1 failures 1 debug2: input_userauth_request: try method publickey debug1: test whether pkalg/pkblob are acceptable debug3: mm_key_allowed entering debug3: mm_request_send entering: type 20 debug3: mm_key_allowed: waiting for MONITOR_ANS_KEYALLOWED debug3: mm_request_receive_expect entering: type 21 debug3: mm_request_receive entering debug3: monitor_read: checking request 20 debug3: mm_answer_keyallowed entering debug3: mm_answer_keyallowed: key_from_blob: 0x100f4158 debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 132690/513 (e=18/544) debug1: trying public key file /home/hayward/.ssh/authorized_keys debug1: restore_uid: (unprivileged) debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 132690/513 (e=18/544) debug1: trying public key file /home/hayward/.ssh/authorized_keys debug1: restore_uid: (unprivileged) debug3: mm_answer_keyallowed: key 0x100f4158 is disallowed debug3: mm_request_send entering: type 21 debug3: mm_request_receive entering debug2: userauth_pubkey: authenticated 0 pkalg ssh-dss Failed publickey for hayward from 10.10.10.10 port 57461 ssh2 Does anyone have any suggestions?
