By 'hangs' I mean that having typed the PIN and Enter, nothing happens, including no output if I include -v -v -v. Weirder still, if I try using strace, communication happens and I get "permission denied" I have reinstalled openssh, removed the cygsshd service, re-run ssh-host-config and restarted the service to no avail. I only need password login to install new keys, and obviously there are workarounds for that, but if there's just something I'm missing I'd like to fix it. Are there other things I need to worry about having switched to using a PIN? Thanks, ht -- Henry S.
