Sounds like you've read and followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README. That's good. >If I'm logged on locally on the windows machine (running the ssh-Service) >with the account "p859301" and starting the putty-ssh-Shell from another >one, the keyauthentification for the user "p859301" works fine.

I presume you have this same problem even with 'ssh' as the client? Assuming you can't find a solution yourself (or haven't already), we need more information. Visit <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> and provide the information it requests. Also, it would be good to know what the permission of your home directory (ls -l and getfacl) is and your .ssh directory and files. Seeing your /etc/passwd and /etc/group would also be interesting. One WAG is that at least some of your mounts are 'user' rather than 'system' but that's based on extremely limited base information. >starting the ssh-Service on the machine in debugmode, I got the following >output , if I want to establish the ssh-session ont the client > > >C:\cygwin\usr\sbin>sshd -d If this is what you actually typed to run 'sshd' in debug mode and you aren't logged in as the ssh-service user, then this isn't going to be useful output. Generally, it's best to just set up another service (e.g. 'ssh-service-debug') that sets the debug mode flags (set them all), stop the non-debug service, and start this one. Then you always have the debug service there, properly configured, and easy to use whenever you have a problem. <snip> >Has someone got ssh-keyauthentification to work under windows 2003 ?
