Ok thanks, I thought that may be the case, a pity. I would have thought 
wanting a seamless-"pre-authenticated"-X11-forwarded connection to a unix 
box is something that would be highly desired and in common use under 
Cygwin, I guess not :(

Unfortuantly the solaris machine I connect to doesn't use keys, is there 
something else I could do which would allow me to run *local* xterms/rxvt's 
to this box without having to type in the password everytime? (I realise I 
can start remote xterms fine, but the remote terms aren't as good :P ).

Thanks,
Shane
