X-Mailer: VM 6.96 under 21.4 (patch 3) "Academic Rigor" XEmacs Lucid I just tried to upgrade again (after having previously run into the authentication agent issue) Unfortunately the ssh-add issue still exists. When I do ssh-add I get: Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. As suggested in: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg01368.html The bug is in cygwin1.dll. My current version of the cygwin package is 1.3.3-2 and the previous is 1.3.2-1, where it worked. It appeas that cygwin package has not been updated since the september release that introduced the problem? As suggested I downloaded a recent snapshot. cygwin1-20011029.dll.bz2 from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/snapshots/ and put the uncompressed dll into c:/bin. The ssh-add problem is fixed but then when I try to do ssh -X -f host xemacs ... I get write failed: the descriptor is a file, not a socket. So, I presume that I need to get more of the snapshot? Or perhaps the cygwin package will be updated soon? -jeff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
