Hi, The ssh command keeps prompting "password:" repeatedly with the latest OpenSSH package after I started ssh-agent and registered key with ssh-add command. Followings are my environment.
% uname -a CYGWIN_NT-10.0 win8 2.2.1(0.289/5/3) 2015-08-20 11:42 x86_64 Cygwin % ssh -V OpenSSH_7.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015 If I install back the older OpenSSH package ("OpenSSH_6.9p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015"), then ssh prompt "password:" only once. Old version works fine! I confirmed that "OpenSSH_7.0p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015" has same problem as "OpenSSH_7.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015". And I can see same behavior on another machine which OS is windows7. So, I believe the latest OpenSSH_7.1p1 & 7.0p1 have same problem. If I miss anything, please let me know.
