Hello!
I am running Cygwin-64, 2.8.0(0.309/5/3) on a Windows 2016 Server. This sys=
tem is intended for use by a fairly wide audience of devs. We have this wor=
king correctly on an old Windows 2008 box running Cygwin 1.7.9(0.237/5/3). =
The new system is intended to replace the old one. I've mimicked the config=
uration as much possible on the new system, but am running into an issue wi= th
passwordless (key-auth) ssh.
I have created a windows symlink ("mklink /d /sharename [unc_path]") in the=
c:\cygwin64 directory that points to an NFS share. (This is the same as th= e
old system.)
I have OpenSSH configured and working.
I can access "/sharename" within explorer (c:\cygwin64\sharename\) and loca=
lly from within the Cygwin prompt (/sharename), when logged in as either th= e
service account or my own domain account.
If I ssh into the system using password authentication, I am able to "ls /s=
harename" regardless of which account I use, in either interactive mode or =
not.
If I copy ~/.ssh/ to the server for the service account, I can get into /sh=
arename.
But if I copy ~/.ssh/ for my own domain account, I cannot. I get a "permiss=
ion denied" error when attempting to cd to /sharename or do an ls of it. Th= is
is true whether I ssh into the system interactively, or execute the comm= and
remotely / non-interactively.
On the old system, "ls -la /" shows the link owned by the service account u=
ser. On the new system, it was initially owned by "Administrators" but I ch=
anged it to match. This did not change behavior. I've diffed the other Cygw= in
config files and except for a couple minor tweaks due to the newer Cygwi= n
version, there are no differences.
/var/log/sshd.log shows nothing.
Any help or troubleshooting tips would be appreciated. I'm not so hot as a =
Windows admin - without dmesg or a syslog, I'm kind of at a loss. I don't
really understand why ssh key auth would interfere with file system or network
access in this way.
Regards,
Dave P.
