Hi, I decided to remove the .ssh directory and then do a ssh-user-config to set up the directory again. I changed the .ssh directory to 700 and the contents to 600. Now I get:
$ ssh localhost Last login: Wed Nov 19 17:13:33 2003 from 127.0.0.1 C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 0. Terminating. Connection to localhost closed. Any ideas ?

When this happened to me, it was because I'd gotten the wrong permissions on ~/.ssh and some of the files in it. ~/.ssh should be mode 700; the files in it should be 600. (Actually there are a few files in there that can be 644, but it doesn't hurt to make them all 600.) -- Asking the Iraqi people to assume Saddam's debts is rather like telling a man who has been shot in the head that he has to pay for the bullet. -- James Surowiecki ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and solely for the intended addressee(s).
