Public key authentication not working when I do "ssh localhost"

I've been trying "ssh localhost" on cygwin (I use WIndows 7), but it
keeps asking for the password.

When I did "ssh -vvv localhost", I found out that the public key
authentications were not happening (or failing). Hence, it was asking
for the password.

debug1: Authentications that can continue:
publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug3: start over, passed a different list
publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password
debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey
debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password
debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering RSA public key: /home/navenara/.ssh/id_rsa
debug3: send_pubkey_test
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue:
publickey,password,keyboard-interactive

I'm not sure if it is unable to read the authorized_keys file, or if
there is a timeout issue with this, or did the authentication fail? Is
there any way to get more details?

I have done the following steps:

ssh-host-config. Answered yes to all.
Generated the RSA key and added it to the authorized_keys file.

cygpath codepage problem

Hi!

today I've updated cygwin and new cygpath prints incorrect non latin paths

$ cygpath -V
cygpath (cygwin) 1.7.18
Path Conversion Utility

$ echo $LANG

$ cygpath 'D:\Downloads\музыка'
/cygdrive/d/Downloads/музыка

("музыка" means "music" in russian)

I've noticed the "-C" command line parameter
I'm not sure is this a new parameter? did it exist before?
I tried different values but have not succeeded.
and I could not google some solution
could someone check it please
is this a bug?

web archive is xenophobic (non ASCII characters problems)

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/

This page displays non ASCII characters wrongly.
Namely the 'ž' in my last name.

Also when showing the message content:

Setup.exe - pending view does not show all pending packages

Hi!

If I start Setup.exe v2.774 on a PC where cygwin is already installed
and I select to install new package (not yet installed), then the
Pending view only shows this selected package and misses all the other
pending packages (they would be upgraded as a newer version is
available).

Without selecting new packages to install, the Pending vie shows a
list of existing packages that will be updated.

So this is inconsistent and confusing/misleading.

Regards,
David

64-bit toolchain questions

 Hello!

 I have noticed that Cygwin64 toolchain is available and installed it. Then
i tried to compile a simple "Hello world" using it. A 64-bit .exe file was
created. I am even able to start this file from terminal, but it prints
nothing. What's wrong ?

 Kind regards.
