RE: OpenSSH_3.9p1 and Could not load host key

["Peter Fraser" <pjf at thinkage dot ca>]

I have included cygcheck.out.

The OpenSSH_3.9 which I used from an OpenBSD 3.6 system. 
I have a lot less control over, thought I would have thought that
a new version of sshd on my Windows XP should be a able to speak 
to an older ssh on a differing machine.

I also found some more information. using ssh to my Windows XP works
fine if that machine does not have an id_rsa.pub entry in my
.ssh/authorized_keys.

The problem also occurs if for OpenSSH_3.1p1 run a linux box.

Those permissions look fine.

You at least have a dated openssh.  Mine returns:

# ssh -v
OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfghkMNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
           [-D port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-i identity_file]
           [-L port:host:hostport] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o
option]
           [-p port] [-R port:host:hostport] [-S ctl] [user@]hostname
[command]


You should try upgrading.  If that doesn't help, try reading and
following
the bug reporting guidelines at:

This will provide you with the basic info this list needs to help with 
problems, if you do need to follow-up on this problem with the list
again.
