Could not load id_rsa as a RSA1 public key

Question

I\'m using cygwin on Windows 7 64 bit and I\'m trying to ssh -vvv localhost

OpenSSH_6.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012
debug1: Reading configuration          


        

Answer 1

Actually, I realized the reason why I was getting the same error was because sshd was not running on the VM server I was trying to connect to :) Running it fixed the prob for me.
