I've been using OpenSSH with Cygwin for a while now, very
successfully. Thanks to all who put this together.
I'd like to set up my machine for remote logins now, which makes me
much more security conscious: using an old version of OpenSSH is not
really an option.
However, I can't find a way to get the latest OpenSSH to work without
messing up ssh-agent in the sense that it becomes strongly attached to
the bash window in which it was started. With the versions I've got
now, I can start ssh-agent, and an ssh tunnel, and then close the
window, and those processes keep running. This is very nice!
As soon as I upgrade Cygwin, or the base files, this stops working.
The bash window refuses to close; if I tell Windows to shut it down,
it kills ssh-agent and ssh as well.
If I only upgrade OpenSSH, it won't start, because it's been linked
against a newer version of cygwin1.dll, and can't find an entry point
it needs.
Here's how I start ssh-agent:
alias sshstart='ssh-agent >~/ssh-agent-pid; source ~/ssh-agent-pid;
ssh-add'
and here's ssh:
alias sshtunnel='ssh -N -f -L [my tunnel] [my username] >/dev/null
2>/dev/null </dev/null '
I've attached the /etc/setup/installed.db version database below
listing the setup that works. Has anyone got ssh-agent working with a
current OpenSSH release? Could you tell me the versions you have
installed?
Thanks in advance.
