An excellent solution, and one that works for me. I am curious as to how I might launch a Windows application from my root ssh command line to display within my non-priveleged-user Win2K login session. I guess I'm looking for the Windows equivilant of the X environment commands: unixhost% xhost +Administrator unixhost% setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0 so that if I wanted to run, say, the Event Viewer as root it would display it within my current logon session. thanks dave -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
