Hello all, Quick question. Am I correct in my understanding that private key authentication can not be performed for any account except the account the openssh service is run under? I am referencing this text: "Cygwin has some limitations with regard to PKA. PKA on the server can only be set up on the account under which the SSHD daemon (service) is run. That means for PKA logins, the connection will always log in as the 'sshd' account on the remote server. If you desire access to your own account, you will have to run 'ssh ' and enter a password, assuming you have previously established your account on that server." on Drew Hunts' guide to Setting up Secure Shell with Public Key Authentication Capability on Cygwin. Thanks in advance, Dan
