Fair enough - whats bizarre then is why 90% or so of the Google hits
out there point to this page, and not to anything on the Cygwin list
(that I found). Perhaps this is the sort of page the someone who is
involved with Cygwin should put together, given the frequency with
which it seems to come up.

OK - thanks. I'll have a look.

Will do.

Whoops - yup.

Selected for all users. Was never asked about text- or bin-mode.
Re-installed twice on suspicion it might be corruption problem - same
result on both occasions. It installed fine, but then when running
ssh-host-config, it simply asked about privelage separation. Nothing more.

Thanks - I'll follow those suggestions and report back.
