How does one set permissions on id_rsa in such a way as to make ssh

Supposed solutions, such as adding CYGWIN=ntsec or CYGWIN=ntea to
.bashrc and/or cygwin.bat, have not worked. If someone could enlighten
me with a solution that actually DOES work, or a pointer to such a
solution, I would be most grateful.
If you're home directory is remote (i.e. on a file server and perhaps
mounted) then you might try adding smbntsec to CYGWIN. Or you can use
the Windows Explorer Properties: Security and play with the toggles
until you get the desired result. You need to play because there is not
a clear mapping from Windows security bits -> POSIX security bits.
