Subject:	Re: xauth issue (remote X w/putty via Cygwin/XWin)
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

I did attempt to use the Cygwin version of Putty but encountered
several errors. I ended adding a post-install script that makes the
following changes in /bin/startxwin and /bin/startx

defaultserverargs="-multiwindow -listen tcp"'
enable_xauth=0

This seems to allow functionality with our external (to Cygwin)
version of Putty however I am still testing.
