Hello.

Today I followed your instruction, ran /usr/bin/cyglsa-config and 
rebooted: still no luck.

I raised the loglevel to DEBUG3 and verified sshd was *always* looking 
for /home/cyg_server/.ssh/authorized_keys, regardless of the user trying 
to log in.

So, if I do "ln -s /home/user /home/cyg_server", then ssh user@server 
works without password prompt!!!
Of course I know the security implications of this...

Any further hint appreciated.

  bye & Thanks
	av.
