a workaround was already available on first link you provided


chgrp -R Users ~/.ssh


I had tried this earlier running the chgrp.exe, but it threw an error saying unknown group 'Users'. I assume this is because when chgrp.exe is located outside of the default cygwin directory, it doesn't know where to find the group file. I also attempted to create a separate file where i'd dump the contents of my private key into, but that file seems to also be afflicted by this permissions problem of having 660 with no group set.

have you a /etc/group file ?
