Re: Permissions on .ssh/id_rsa


id_rsa is 400 here and that works fine.  You don't need anyone to read your
private key file.  Have a look at the wincvs documentation which explains how to
connect ssh with wincvs.

Ensure that .ssh is 700 and id_rsa is 600. Otherwise ssh will not take'em ...
and this is standard on all OS.
