Ok, so I have two windows computers and one linux computer.
I setup cygwin and installed the ssh package. I then opened up the cygwin terminal on each computer and ran ssh-keygen -t -N ''
I then logged into the linux computer, went to the .ssh directory and created an authorized_keys file and pasted in the id_rsa.pub text. User1 works great User2 does not work
I did the same on both computers. Furthermore, if I copy user2's cygwin generated id_rsa.pub contents over to the authorized_keys file for user1...I can get into the linux computer doing user1@linuxcomputer
So this seems like something is wrong on my linux computer with the way the users are setup.
How do I fix this issue? I want each computer with their separate users to be able to log into the linux computer terminal without any password.

It almost sounds like you have not put the authorized keys files in directories for each user - can you confirm that user1's authorised keys file was in ~user1/.ssh/authorized_keys and user2's in ~user2/.ssh/authorized_keys ? – davidgo – 2016-01-29T02:01:31.047
Yes, exactly as it should be from what I can tell. – user277244 – 2016-01-29T16:23:58.200
