I was going to suggest much the same things to start; however, there
could be issues with home directory settings (necessary for locating the
private ssh keys).  It might also be good to eventually work in the ssh
agent so that the need for passwords can be reduced.

BTW, if you only need Cygwin for connecting to remote hosts with SSH,
you might find Putty to be a better fit for your needs.
