Re: sshd problems


Thanks for the reply.

Actually, I have CYGWIN set to "binmode ntea". Also, the command is native to windows and works perfectly with the 3 arguments (even if I pass bogus arguments) and thus I do not think it has to do with authentication of the user.

Hello,

I am new to this list, so I apologies if this issue has been addressed before.

I just installed cygwin 1.5.9.1 on a windows 2000 machine. Setup sshd with keys (for logon without passwords) as a service. Everything _appears_ to work correctly: I can login to the machine without having to type my password. Most commands work properly (ex: ls, cd, mkdir, etc). For some reason, the output of a single application (pcounter) does not appear to the screen (unless I pass 3 arguments to the command, in which case the command works fine). If I remove the ssh keys and login from/to the same machine (and login by typing my password), then the command works fine.

I'm at a loss and don't know what to try to resolve this problem.


I assume that 'pcounter' is some native Windows application. It almost
sounds to me like 'pcounter' requires an authenticated user to work but
your note about passing '3 arguments' to make it work casts doubts on
that. You might want to try removing 'tty' as a setting for the CYGWIN
environment variable that 'sshd' uses when it starts as a service, assuming
you specified 'tty' as an option when you configured sshd.
