Re: Strange problem wiith Cygwin ssh-still no luck :-(


Clearly this is an authentication issue.  'ssh' is working 
fine.  The 'setup' program you're running is obviously trying 
to access resources it can't get to without authentication.  
You might try doing the same thing when you're logged in through 
Windows to the desktop on the remote machine as the same user.
If it works for this, then I'd say that's the problem.  Typically, 
'setup' programs want access to the registry, which is protected.
You might find a suitable work-around for your needs but I expect
you're bumping up against Windows security with this particular
(non-Cygwin) program.
