It's ok. > sshd(with 1.1.4 dll) does not return any output when execing a microsoft executeable from an ssh command line (ssh administrator AT machine 'net start') - Cygwin programs work fine and the same MS programs work from an interactive shell Known problem. This happens when using native Windows commands in non-interactive mode. You can get rid of that by using the ssh option "-t" when starting non-interactive commands. > This version also has the same "cannot change to home directory" bug as the previous release - is that a cygwin dll issue? Adding a home dir "/" to /etc/passwd causes an RSA failure The path handling code in OpenSSH simply adds "/.ssh" to your home directory which results in "//.ssh" for the private ssh directory. No problem on UN*X which simply ignores runs of slashes. In Windows a run of two leading slashes has a special meaning (SMB path). I can only repeat what I mentioned often before: Don't use / as home directory. This is bad style anyway, regardless of the used system.
