Larry,
Thanks for the reply,
As of this morning (12/20) here are the steps I have taken...
#1 Completely removed existing Cygwin installation
#2 Reinstalled with latest released version per setup.exe. Installed
ALL available Cygwin packages.
#3 Witnessed the same behavior as reported in the previous post.
Additional notes follow..
What I am trying to do is establish an outbound connection using the
ssh client located in /usr/bin to a number of identified servers.
Attempts to connect to all three servers fail with the error messages:
socket: Operation not permitted
ssh: connect to host port 22: Operation not permitted.
I have enabled debug options on the client, but it hasn't given any good
clues.... It dies fairly quickly, below is the pasting of the debug
output....
OpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to gatekeeper [192.168.0.2] port 22.
socket: Operation not permitted
ssh: connect to host gatekeeper port 22: Operation not permitted
However, if I copy ssh.exe to my home directory, it works as intended
without any problems....
I have noticed that this problem also exists with telnet.exe and
ftp.exe. Specifically, if I try to invoke either of these apps directly
from /usr/bin it will give a similar error message.
"socket: Operation not permitted"
however if I copy them to my home directory (/home/Ed), they will also
work as intended
The latest snapshot did not yield any results, (however this is the
first time I have tried one so there is some room for error on my part
in the area of installation and usage...)
