Thanks for the reply. Very restrictive permissions are what I need. I think
the problem may be how cygwin is interpreting the windows/samba
permissions. I have a user that is ssh'ing into windows to compile an
application (they are developers). For this compiling the user's scripts
(Makefiles actually I think) ssh back to unix servers to do something. As
this is an automated script I need the ssh to go through without asking
for a password. This works unix-to-unix, bot not windows-to-unix.
