ok, I changed /etc/passwd, setting my home to /home/banderso.  I get the 
same result.  Either way I made sure to explicitly refer to my ssh_config 
that ~/.ssh/ contained the generated keys.

same for both consoles:

banderso@DEVCPM7R ~
$ type -a ssh
ssh is /usr/bin/ssh
ssh is /bin/ssh

banderso@DEVCPM7R ~
$ which ssh
/usr/bin/ssh

> Also try using '/bin/ssh' explicitly.
same result

looks like they're the same:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/ssh
-rwxrwxrwx    1 banderso Users      223232 Nov  5 10:47 /usr/bin/ssh
$ ls -l /bin/ssh
-rwxrwxrwx    1 banderso Users      223232 Nov  5 10:47 /bin/ssh

I don't know - I'm not familiar with this.

I am running:
Win2k 5.00.2195 Service Pack 3.
what's easy way to find version of cygwin?  I recently updated, but I can't 
find the number.

Thanks,
Ben
