Google turned up a few threads on this subject: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-07/msg00577.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-01/msg00651.html In addition to the Visual Studio 2008 linker problem, I also run into problems accessing WMI from a ssh session - things like tasklist simply hang and the event log DCOM messages looks like an authentication issue. As suggested in one of the threads, running sshd as the desired logon user fixes things, but that makes it difficult for multiple users to share a "build" box. It's been a while since these threads were posted; has anyone come up with any workarounds besides using password authentication or use the same sshd account for user logon and sshd service? Larry mentioned some changes in Cygwin 1.7 - any chance it's a small enough change that I can put it into sshd until Cygwin 1.7 is released? thanks for your time! jim -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
