I can now successfully access my CVS repository remotely from any of these machines, using the Cygwin ssh and cvs utilities, which was my primary goal. In the bash shell I also run "ssh-agent $SHELL" followed by "ssh-add", and this works fine on the Windows 2000 machines. However, on my Windows 95 machine "ssh-add" simply hangs. Once this has happened the incidence of blue-screen-of-death memory errors increases markedly. However, ssh-add does not itself crash with a memory-error screen or return any error messages -- it just hangs. I tried changing the permissions on the files in my ~/.ssh directory, but (as I see from other postings) chmod has little or no effect in Win 95. In any case, the key files should be OK because they work fine for ssh and remote cvs calls: only ssh-add seems to have a problem. My Win 95 system is a Pentium 166 MHz with 64 MB RAM. I'm not running any exotic background software. What have I done wrong?
