<2 informal tests on my home PC, /etc/ssh_config is "OTTB">
no problem, using PubkeyAuthentication:
$ uname -a #login shell is bash, started by 'sshing in'
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 argon 1.5.19s(0.149/4/2) 20051227 16:45:51 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin
$ ssh localhost date
Wed Dec 28 21:03:43 CST 2005
$ scp adm_tsr@localhost:/etc/passwd /tmp/toss
passwd 100% 704 0.7KB/s 00:00
$
problems w/same tests using PasswordAuthentication:
$ eval $(ssh-agent -k) #same bash session continuing
Agent pid 304 killed
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 argon 1.5.19s(0.149/4/2) 20051227 16:45:51 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin
$ ssh localhost date
Enter passphrase for key '/home/adm_tsr/.ssh/id_rsa':
adm_tsr@localhost's password:
$ : skipped passphrase prompt, entered password; no date shows up
$ scp adm_tsr@localhost:/etc/passwd /tmp/toss
Enter passphrase for key '/home/adm_tsr/.ssh/id_rsa':
adm_tsr@localhost's password:
$ : skipped passphrase prompt, notice nothing echoed after password was entered
