(ee logs : http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-06/msg00841.html) This only occurs in windows 2000 advanced server. I performed a standard cygwin install (setup) and the above for windows 2000 server and workstation and NT server (service pack 6) and windows 2000 advanced server. Only the advanced server fails. If any reader has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. My objective is to use secure file transfer (scp) and remote administration (ssh tunnelled vnc). I apologize for my multiple posts. I can not figure out to how to reply to a thread through my e-mail client.
