When you login using ssh you get a different set > than the ones your Windows login has, including a modified PATH. env vars are a common issue (see: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00245.html) but in this case I think it's somewhat different. On Vista and W7, the sshd process is running in a different "Windows Station" than the normal login. This *might* mean that the 'reg' command is accessing a different registry hive that you think it should. Can you run the 'reg' command manually, from a standard login and from an sshd session, and see what the results are in each case? -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
