Hi,

I am having a strange problem running rsync on cygwin in vista.  I have 
been running a script for years that uses an rsync demon to backup local 
files on a remote server.  It was set up to use ssh as transport with a 
limited command set for security reasons.  When I try to run a test 
script like,

rsync -e "ssh -i mycert -c blowfish" myfiles root AT remoteserver::/

It requests the root password instead of just authenticating.  I have 
run ssh -i mycert to make sure that I could log in.  I have tested this 
exact set up on another vista box and it ran without problem. I have run 
rsync to the remote server using a different logon to test it also 
without a problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance. 

Peter
