Several folk here use Cygwin with windows 7 enterprise as a tool to access
linux servers. They have Cygwin with X installed and use a combination of
terminal windows and X exports from the RH servers to manage items.
The most recent version of Cygwin, when upgraded, breaks in these uses. I have
spent a little time isolating causes.
"most recent" is not a version number.
Could you at least clarify from which version to which version
did you upgrade ?
Ssh(1) on normal install does not get any config files.
$ cygcheck -l openssh |grep bin
/usr/bin/slogin
/usr/bin/ssh-keyscan.exe
/usr/bin/ssh-user-config
/usr/bin/sftp.exe
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id
/usr/bin/ssh.exe
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen.exe
/usr/bin/ssh-add.exe
/usr/bin/scp.exe
/usr/bin/ssh-agent.exe
/usr/sbin/sshd.exe
/usr/sbin/sftp-server.exe
/usr/sbin/ssh-keysign.exe
/usr/sbin/ssh-pkcs11-helper.exe
When config files are placed at the usual suspect locations, ssh(1) ignores
them.
cygrun-host-config -y
this file is not from cygwin
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygrun-host-config
does build the config files, but it cannot complete because the required
accounts cannot be created , not even by someone with admin access. It fails
on permisssions.
alias ssh="ssh -2 -I ~/.ssh/id-rsa"
in .bashrc
does allow ssh to do password-less access to the servers but it breaks on
hg clone ssh://...
which is now totally non-functional.
The two offered downloads of Cygwin are now of greatly reduced utility because
the way duties are arranged doesn't allow functioning of the agent or the id
mechanism.
Everyone has been advised to hold without updating on Cygwin, and new machines
are now being equipped with VMware player and RHEL6.

what about providing same data like
Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Usually the file in ~/.ssh should have a 600 permission,
otherwise ssh refuse to use them.
Wich permission do you see ?
