Hello everyone,
I´m using cygwin for some time now but today i ran into a problem.
I´ve got a user-request that they want to be able to scp files to a
host without entering their password everytime. No problem i
thought, deploy the public-key on the server and that should do it,
but it won´t work.
I´ve read some manual stuff and came to the conclusion that i
should use the ntsec variable. I do this because i think the
problem lies with the file-permissions on the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file
(group and world readable). Well, no problem, set the variable,
fire up cygwin and what happens ? Everything is messed up, can´t
even write to my home-directory anymore. I think it´s because i´m a
domain-user and not the local computer user. I reinstalled Cygwin
several times and always ran into the same problem. (Domain user is
not included in /etc/passwd ... only the local ones).
So, what to do now ? I´ve kinda run into a dead end for me :-)
