I've enabled ntsec and have the ability to chown and chmod.

You are not using OpenSSH, do you? AFAICS, the naming of the tmp subdirectories follows another scheme. I have just tried ssh-agent from OpenSSH and I had no problems. I'm using ntsec on W2K. If you want to try OpenSSH you can find it in ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Vinschen_Corinna/V1.1.1 Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Developer Cygnus Solutions, a Red Hat company -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
