I have been using the b20 and Sergey's port of sshd with great success. 
In my efforts to get openssh running on 1.1.2 I have noticed that the
net.exe command no longer runs the same way.  Instead of running inside
the shell (I am using bash) it spawns a separate console for the app. 
This has the effect of making the output inaccessible from the remote
shell.

I have set CYGWIN to be:
CYGWIN='tty binmode title strip_title glob ntsec ntea'

I am running Win2K.  I see that the command "net user" spawns a new
shell, yet "net use" does not.  Have you run into this before?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
