This is probably an easy question for some. I can't get my cygwin client connected to a redhat linux machine running sshd. I have no problem ssh connecting to the linux machine in question when I do it from another linux machine, but cygwin under win2000 isn't happy. I have all my files in order, or at least I have them in the same order they are on the linux machines. id_dsa, id_dsa.pub, authorized_keys2, known_hosts2.. My public key from the cygwin machine is in the authorized_keys2 file on the target server...
Every attempt ends, thus: Enter passphrase for DSA key '/home/user1/.ssh/id_dsa': debug: read DSA private key done debug: sig size 20 20 debug: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug: authentications that can continue: publickey debug: authmethod_lookup publickey debug: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug: next auth method to try is publickey debug: we did not send a packet, disable method debug: authmethod_lookup publickey debug: no more auth methods to try Unable to find an authentication method debug: Calling cleanup 0x414cf0(0x0) This is with maxium verbosity enabled. It sends a publickey packet to the server and gets squat back. Is this a permission problem? I mean user1@MYMACHINE doesn't really mean anything to the server... except that a matching key is on the other side. I did check for ^M's in the key files... all is clean. Any ideas out there?
