Hi All...

I have a vanilla install on a Win2k, SP2 machine.

If I type

ssh localhost which find

I get the one in /c/WINNT/System32

If I type

ssh localhost

and then type

which find in the new session, I get the one in /usr/bin

I know that I can change the setting of some environment variables to work 
around this, but...My question is this: Why is remote command executution 
different than remote interactive login?

By the way, I have the Cygwin created profile in /etc in which the first 
line is

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH"

So again, why do the two methods produce different results?

Thanks,

...Karl
