title: cygwin ssh no putty yes?
body: <p>I generated a keys with putty w/ no passphrase. putty works fine, but now i installed cygwin and would like to use ssh to login. For some reason i'm prompted for a passphrase?  why?  putty just logs straight in? i don't want to have to generate a new key and annoy the network admins.  here is what it looks like in cygwin:
  $ ssh -i Documents\ and\ Settings/xxxxx/My\ Documents/xxxxx\ putty\ keys/private\ key.ppk dev.xxxxxx.com
  Enter passphrase for key 'Documents and Settings/xxxxx/My Documents/xxxxx putty keys/private key.ppk':
