Environment:
- MS Windows 8.1
- Cygwin 64bit
- ssh keys copied from somewhere and placed to ~/.ssh/
Problem:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Permissions 0660 for '~/.ssh/id_rsa' are too open.
It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.This private key will be ignored.
bad permissions: ignore key: ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Did not work:
- chmod 600 id_rsa
- chmod 700 .ssh
- Playing with Windows security panels
- Setting group to SYSTEM
- Everything else
Solution:
Found on Vineet Gupta's blog http://vineetgupta.com/blog/cygwin-permissions-bug-on-windows-8chgrp Users id_rsa
chmod 600 id_rsa
Now, all works. Thank you, Vineet!
