Re: TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.0.0-0.7
There's still something funky going on. ssh won't recognize my ~/.ssh/config file. With my existing passwd and group files, I get this error (notice that the warned permissions are different that what "ls" reports): -rw---+ 1 Jim Reisert None 205 Apr 17 06:19 .ssh/config [JJR:~] $ ssh ad1c @@@ @ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @ @@@ Permissions 0644 for '/cygdrive/D/home/.ssh/id_rsa' are too open. It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. This private key will be ignored. Load key "/cygdrive/D/home/.ssh/id_rsa": bad permissions If I move both passwd and group out-of-the-way, the config file is not recognized at all! -rw---+ 1 Jim Reisert None 205 Apr 17 06:19 .ssh/config [JJR:~] $ ssh ad1c ssh: Could not resolve hostname ad1c: Name or service not known -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

It does not exactly point to a problem with the config file. I think I need more explanation here and a bit of detective work from your side...

Re: TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.0.0-0.7
I finally understand what happened. In my /etc/passwd, I have configured a different home directory for myself. Without that file, it goes to /home/Jim Reisert which does not exist! Is there a way to change my default home directory without using /etc/passwd, other than creating a symbolic link inside of /home? - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

That's what is explained in https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html The chapters you should be looking for are https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch-home E.g. this setting in /etc/nsswitch.conf would do the trick if you're the only user (but careful with sshd!): Or perhaps https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch-desc Set "db_home: desc" and change the description field in your SAM according to the above document.
