Hi, Last week I got a new VDI at work. As the first I installed cygwin. I found that I could not pull from our git repo. I then went to my old VDI, updated cygwin, and found that I could not git pull here either. It is the permissions on my id_rsa file that is the problem, right? If so, how do I fix it (I can't change with chmod)? $ git pull Enter passphrase for key '/home/morten/.ssh/id_rsa': sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "/home/morten/.ssh/id_rsa": error in libcrypto git@gitprod: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. $ git pull sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "/home/morten/.ssh/id_rsa" from agent: agent refused operation git@gitprod: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. $ ls -la .ssh/id* -rw-r--r-- 1 morten Domain Users 3434 Jul 15 11:11 .ssh/id_rsa -rw-r--r-- 1 morten Domain Users 739 Jul 15 11:11 .ssh/id_rsa.pub $ chmod 600 .ssh/id* $ ls -la .ssh/id* -rw-r--r-- 1 morten Domain Users 3434 Jul 15 11:11 .ssh/id_rsa -rw-r--r-- 1 morten Domain Users 739 Jul 15 11:11 .ssh/id_rsa.pub /Morten -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
