Make sure that /bin/bash is executable for everyone on your system. -Nathan -----Original Message----- From: Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) [mailto:lhall@rfk.com] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 4:41 PM To: Collin Grady; Cygwin ML Subject: Re: SSH/Bash error OK, so do you have /bin/bash in your environment before invoking ssh. You'll probably need to invoke ssh with its debugging turned on (-v see the ssh man page) to see where it's going wrong. I assume you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-*.README and followed all the instructions there before attempting to use openssh? If not, go here and read this too.
