Folks,

as the subject line says.

no matter what ssh-keys I use, or permissions I set, the ssh server
insists
in wanting my password.

What is the current expert-recommended way of accomplishing password-less
ssh under cygwin?

Run '/usr/bin/ssh-host-config' on the Cygwin installation that's the server
and '/usr/bin/ssh-user-config' on the Cygwin installation under the user
login that will be logging into the 'sshd' server.  This assumes that
you're
not connected to a domain.  If you are, see this FAQ:

Thanks, Larry. That (/usr/bin/ssh-user-config) did the trick.
