cygwin permissions group Windows8

  • cygwin permissions bug on Windows 8
  • Permissions 0660 for '/home/Vineet/.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: /home/Vineet/.ssh/id_rsa Permission denied (publickey).
  • quick fix is to change the group on all existing entries:
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • chgrp -R Users ~/.ssh
  • 1) Check the group Id of the ‘Users’ group in /etc/group
  • -rw-------
  • Here’s how you can fix the root cause:
  • chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
  • cat /etc/group | egrep '^Users:' | cut -f3 -d':'
  • value was 545
  • 2) Check the primary group for your user in /etc/passwd
  • cat /etc/passwd | egrep '^Vineet:' | cut -f4 -d':'
  • value was 513 (which was the value for the ‘None’ group in /etc/group)
  • 3) Change this value to the one found in the previous step for ‘Users’ (545 in this example)
  • 4) Exit cygwin and restart
