First thing I tried is starting ash.exe from a cmd prompt. Works fine now. Anything more we can try at this point to figure out the source of the problem? I still have the install that wasn't working in C:\cygwin.old. It would be nice to end this conversation with a conclusion and maybe even a better fix than re-installing for the next person that sees this type of scenario. I had sshd configured under the original install. Can anyone tell me what files I need to grab from my cygwiin.old in order to get the same configuration I was using. I could re-run the configuration script, but then I believe all the computers that I connect to this one would warn me about a known hosts mismatch. I'd prefer to avoid that if I can.
