A client wants me to pop into his machines regularly to take a look around and see that all is well, as well as perhaps run some backups. I could use VNC to take over the console but that not only disrupts what he is doing but requires a GUI and seems so Microsoft ;-) =20 Will cygwin let me set up an sshd on the box so that I can log in, get a bash prompt, and do my looking around or running of scripts? How does it handle usernames and accounts? [These are Win98 and WinXP (Home?) boxes.] Has anyone else already jumped this hurdle so that I might not have to do it all from scratch?
