Problems with pair key auth and sftp server

Mon Jan 26 22:49:00 GMT 2009

Hi there,

I hope I write to the right place.

I got a problem with my cygwin setup.

I got a setup running at the moment but as I want to upgrade to the latest version soon, I installed it on my test machine. Which is running a plain Windows Server 2008 Setup.

I did the normal setup procedure, just added a few packages like all basic ones, some editors, openssh, openssl and syslog-ng.

After that I run the ssh-host-config and created the group and passwd files.
All this has been done in local admin.

Now I switched to my user, which is domain admin and changed the group and passwd files with mkgroup -d and so on.
Changed to sshd_config file to activate RSAAuth, Logs, Authfiles, etc.

Then I created the key files with ssh-keygen. After that I copied the id_rsa file to my local machine and created with the puttygen and .pkk file for putty and winscp.

And now comes the strange part where I dont get further. I tried everything, read everything I found for about a day with no result.

When I try to login it says, Refused our key and in the log files it says that the sftp-server file could not be found. Which is strange as I have not changed the folder where it is and did also not change the entry line in the config.

I hope someone can help as my boss is not happy that he has to pay all these hours without progress :D

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Ben
