Hi,                                                                                                     
                                                                                                        
I think that I have narrowed this down enough to say that this is a                                     
cygwin issue. Hopefully, I can get some advice on this list. If I run                                   
these commands in a dos window that I started nativly on the machine,                                   
                                                                                                        
C:\Documents and Settings\kelli>set PATH=C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\msys\1.0\bin                 
C:\Documents and Settings\kelli>sh --login -i

$ ls

bob AT white~                                                                                              
$                                                                                                       
                                                                                                        
Then everything works fine. Including vim. However, if I login via ssh and                              
run this command,

ls

vigilant                                                                                                
                                                                                                        
The sh doesn't properly. echo is turned on, tab completion doesn't work,                                
the arrows literally move you around the terminal...                                                    
Also, ls doesn't know how to display the files properly. If I start vim                                 
I get                                                                                                   
                                                                                                        
$ vim                                                                                                   
vim                                                                                                     
Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal                                                               
Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal                                                              
                                                                                                        
Does anyone know why this would be? I've talked extensivly with the                                     
mingw-users list, and they aren't sure why. They recommended asking                                     
here if cygwin does something odd in the background.                                                    
                                                                                                        
Thanks,
