So the way forward here would be to define the user as a local user to the machine and have their home directory mapped to the unc. Also it is interesting to look at the debug messages from the sshd when the local user logs in using publickey the public key is read without any problem but the debug messages from the ssh daemon when the domain user logs in recognizes the existence of the key but refuses to accept it. -greg -greg -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
