Hi, I have cygwin 1.74 server running on Windows 2000. I connect to this server programmatically (using sshtools java API that supports OpenSSH) to execute secure ftp. I created public/private key pair, appended the public key (converted to openSSH) authorized_keys and authorized_keys1 on server. Everything worked fine. I was asked "Do you want to accept this key ?" the first time and the known_hosts file was written and subsequent connections went without interruptions. I am trying to use new keys and paste my public key to known_hosts on the client, so that even on the first connection, the prompt wouldn't appear. At this time, I realised that whatever new key I append to the servers authorized_keys files and whatever private key file I use on the client, the server (remote) sends in the SAME key fingerprint every time. I even erased everything from authorized_keys files and tried connection, I still get a key fingerprint and if I accept it, it is written to client's known_hosts.
Doesn't this mean that cygwin is not loading my new keys and that the previous key is stored somewhere else which I do not know ? I restart the server every time I append a key ( cygrunsrv --start sshd ). any clue would be a great help, thanks in advance, Soumya. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
