Could not create directory '/home/andrew/.ssh'.

[Andrew Clarke]

Hi.  I've been using and enjoying Cygwin for a few months now, but I
recently reinstalled WIndows XP on my laptop and have been having the
following problem when I try to run ssh:

bash-2.05b$ ssh -X radagast
Could not create directory '/home/andrew/.ssh'.
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

I just uninstalled Cygwin, deleted c:\cygwin, deleted all the references
to cygwin and cygnus that I could find in the registry and did a full
reinstall and I'm still having this problem.  What can I do to get this
working?

Thanks a lot!
