I am trying to connect with my remote linux server using cygwin+ssh but the authentication fails with no apparent reason. I have successfully setup another connnection to github successfully and I have followed the same process, this is why I am stopped here
$ ssh -v [email protected]

I have made the standard stuff but I cannot solve the problem. These are the commands I have used to generate the private/public keys. I have then copied the public key to the server
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/xxxtta/.ssh/id_dsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/xxxtta/.ssh/id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/xxxtta/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
thank you for your help
EDIT: I have made the same procedure using MINGW and it works (I am able to connect). Something is definitely going wrong with cygwin in my system
~/.ssh/authorized_keyson the remote server?
