OK, may= be > sourceware requires passphrases so I generated a new key with a passphras= e. You're missing something important. The key you sent to sware and the other key you sent to the cygwin-apps list are both the public part of your keys. This public part of a key *never* requires a passphrase. After all it's supposed to be readable by everyone, right? If ssh asks for a passphrase, it's your local, *private* key which is encrypted using this passphrase. Therefore this has nothing to do with ssh on the remote machine. It can't require passphrases since, obviously, it doesn't know your private key. The private key never leaves your local machine. So this asking for a passphrase is a local problem on your machine which you would have to fix locally. Btw., I never saw the problem that a local key without passphrase results in ssh asking for a passphrase. The difference in the keyfile (encrypted vs. non-encrypted) is obvious to ssh: $ head -2 .ssh/my_key -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED Corinna --=20 Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat --DocE+STaALJfprDB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-length: 819 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWQbcSAAoJEPU2Bp2uRE+g96UP/0Wm+FMAh1II1Dq6zjgx9Nzj u8pAxmAUXXVgRdWFrPl92kIMoNj/FPL35Lcp93NViT8fWg+1DZ9cQivXiPNw8QdP tgusuGHQMdARqj51X9ywW4KWF5LSFcKZq0hsoLglLjnQCrxT+og1QspXO0rPWgtI TtXyLG7x/7sEN2Ly0AIlgbcQ6FMtZzqVXHJqPGHncqvzfUtTAx9PdN1agiupC+83 xMx5SvVmgIF5B11PrqW+iDtoACsqagR9mKpat9Q0VMMuIJUGjTwAOrMr6buLB94/ HgiWiVUmjJR3yskEtpA3aRtSFpviPCKsBmQWfnTw5UYB7Bo8i1Gg/HeIUA8H+0LE hWS9ILJhMydUotNRWZB+R/7QJDzg3iC+AJIa0nt1CWykbG3cHwlwL3MWouZ65zIU 5NS4a2msfz33txtB3hf4QKBKqOLcQ6sa3e0hCDl/ZZfN6QZ157oX/yqRnDGTQSR7 1us3amiqhgrpajZ7jimmOnTzSN6X4zXRM8yQ0MtvMU4bheo3b4M792oznGsQ0UU3 wNPwtFc4sKaiv214/XSFGbNdlqP8xALPvNq2tTGaUmMeNWgyJIRRWEjljQKNoKJm VnS/KWLlOpKaKUuZDZxGSCEMmL0FW9xV+01aOm3Y0KKrX2OrULdpMNnDbPs9Bu/+ ZoqCE/VVyw2uudH2SxjE =Wl7n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DocE+STaALJfprDB--
