[Bug 498] ssh default identity broken?
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498 ------- Additional Comments From vinschen at redhat.com 2003-02-19 18:49 ------- Apparently you didn't read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-3.5p1.README. Run ssh-host-config to create the host configuration files and keys and run ssh-user-config to create your personal keys in ~/.ssh. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 498] ssh default identity broken?
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498 hauser at acm.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |vinschen at redhat.com ------- Additional Comments From hauser at acm.org 2003-02-19 21:42 ------- O.K, I did it: <<rhauser at PC:~/<2>Man/cat1> ssh-user-config Configuration finished. Have fun!>> I thought I would now be asked something (why would I be able to specify a "-y" or "-n" option otherwise anyway? Conclusion, it still doesn't give a clue from which directory it did what... ====> Suggestion: add a "-v" option that tells in an end-user-intelligible way what happens. (sure, there is the "-d" option that eventually utters "+ [ ! -f /rsync/.ssh/identity ]" - but this appears to be development-team-internal...) P.S.: Especially when clicking on wincvs, it is not that obvious to find out why this happens ... see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=689081&group_id=10072&atid=110072 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498 ------- Additional Comments From vinschen at redhat.com 2003-02-19 21:54 ------- As I told you on the cygwin ML, check your home dir in /etc/passwd. Your description points to /rsync being set as your home dir in /etc/passwd. If you'd look into the ssh-user-config script you'd find that it uses your home dir from /etc/passwd same as ssh does. It does especially *NOT* use the value of $HOME, same as ssh. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
