It's in the SSH doc. BTW: I've had the funky SSH issues before where nothing at all works. My solution was pretty much voodoo based: 1. Delete every single ssh, ssh_server, ssh-related user manually. Delete these users from /etc/passwd as well as the windows side of the things. 2. Delete every dynamically generated ssh file - keys, config, etc. 3. Run ssh-host-config again. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
