I installed cygwin 3.4.9-1 with all defaults plus openssh 9.5p 1-1 plus rsync 3.2.7-1 in my virtualbox running on Windows 10 again. In /var/log/setup.log I found "can't run /etc/postinstall/openssl.sh: No such file" Anyhow, I opened the Cygwin64-Terminal as Administrator and run ssh-host-config but no host-keys has been created: $ ssh-host-config *** Info: Generating missing SSH host keys *** Info: Creating default /etc/ssh_config file *** Info: Creating default /etc/sshd_config file *** Info: StrictModes is set to 'yes' by default. *** Info: This is the recommended setting, but it requires that the POSIX *** Info: permissions of the user's home directory, the user's .ssh *** Info: directory, and the user's ssh key files are tight so that *** Info: only the user has write permissions. *** Info: On the other hand, StrictModes don't work well with default *** Info: Windows permissions of a home directory mounted with the *** Info: 'noacl' option, and they don't work at all if the home *** Info: directory is on a FAT or FAT32 partition. *** Query: Should StrictModes be used?

Also if it has return value 0. BTW: Windows OpenSSH isn't installed on my machine. René Berber wrote that my files have the wrong permissions. But for shure, /home and /home/meyer has been created during cygwin installation and /home/meyer/.ssh by ssh-user-config. Which permissions the directories and files should have? What could the reason be that ssh-keygen don't create any key? Looks like it wouldn't try it?
