On the other hand, starting sshd under your own account and then using RSA/DSA authentication is way more comfortable ;-) Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. mailto:vinschen@redhat.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
