Just got into the computer that I left re-installing Cygwin from
scratch. First thing I tried is starting ash.exe from a cmd prompt.
Works fine now. Anything more we can try at this point to figure out
the source of the problem? I still have the install that wasn't
working in C:\cygwin.old. It would be nice to end this conversation
with a conclusion and maybe even a better fix than re-installing for
the next person that sees this type of scenario.

I had sshd configured under the original install. Can anyone tell me
what files I need to grab from my cygwiin.old in order to get the same
configuration I was using. I could re-run the configuration script,
but then I believe all the computers that I connect to this one would
warn me about a known hosts mismatch. I'd prefer to avoid that if I
can.

Thanks,
Steven
