Scratch the "Assuming you have installed Cygwin under your own account" thingy. The safe_path() function in OpenSSH checks the path of files in your home dir only up to the home directory itself. However, that depends on $ getent passwd <your-account-name> returning the correct home dir. Personally I just use Cygwin's /home/corinna as home path and symlink or bind mount the Windows stuff into it, e.g. $ ln -s /proc/cygdrive/c/Users/corinna ~/winhome Corinna -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
