There should be no need for anyone other than you to have
read/write/execute permissions on your home directory and
on your '.ssh' directory:

  $ chmod 700 ~/.ssh ~

My understanding is that these settings will only have an effect
if you 1) are running the NTFS file system on your disk, and 2)
have included 'ntsec' in your setting of the environment variable
CYGWIN.

For more detail, see:
