If someone could work with me on this I'd very much appreciate it. I did uncomment out the following in sshd_config:

#CYGWIN SSH SHELL WINDOWS#

When I check the windows service it does state that the CYGWIN sshd server is logged on as Local System. Honestly it was so difficult to start the sshd service that I can't remember. I'm not entirely sure that I'm using priveledged separation. However, when I try to do it with the keys the following output is producedĭebug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 1ĭebug1: Host 'xx.xx.xx.xxis known and matches the RSA host key.ĭebug1: Found key in /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:1ĭebug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correctĭebug2: key: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/user/.ssh/identity (0x0)ĭebug2: key: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa (0x0)ĭebug2: key: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa (0x0)ĭebug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard- interactiveĭebug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password,keyboard- interactiveĭebug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,passwordĭebug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,passwordĭebug1: Next authentication method: publickeyĭebug1: Trying private key: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/user/.ssh/identityĭebug3: no such identity: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/user/.ssh/identityĭebug1: Trying private key: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/user/.ssh/id_rsaĭebug1: read PEM private key done: type RSAĭebug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply Also, I'm able to SSH from UNIX to Windows w/o the keys. I AM able to SSH from the Windows box to the UNIX box using the keys. I have a bit of trouble working a passwordless SSH from UNIX to Cygwin running windows 2k3.
