^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your $HOME is somehow set to 'c:\'. Is your /etc/passwd up-to-date?
ok, I changed /etc/passwd, setting my home to /home/banderso. I get the same result. Either way I made sure to explicitly refer to my ssh_config that ~/.ssh/ contained the generated keys.

This doesn't sound right. Are you using Cygwin's 'ssh'? Please run 'type -a ssh' from the bash prompt in an xterm and 'which ssh' from the command console, and post both outputs.
same for both consoles:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ type -a ssh ssh is /usr/bin/ssh ssh is /bin/ssh
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ which ssh /usr/bin/ssh
Also try using '/bin/ssh' explicitly.same result
looks like they're the same: $ ls -l /usr/bin/ssh -rwxrwxrwx 1 banderso Users 223232 Nov 5 10:47 /usr/bin/ssh $ ls -l /bin/ssh -rwxrwxrwx 1 banderso Users 223232 Nov 5 10:47 /bin/ssh
Another guess: are you using text mounts?I don't know - I'm not familiar with this.
I am running:
Win2k 5.00.2195 Service Pack 3.
what's easy way to find version of cygwin? I recently updated, but I can't find the number.
Thanks, Ben
