Xwin doesn't start. Please help. The log-File ist attached. It seems to be a problem with the multiuser environment. Running XWin as a Windows-Administrator is no problem, but running as an restricted user fails. please help ... quick regards alex Sorry, if the solution is in a forum, I really searched hard, but found only others who had the same problem but no solution...

I add: Host slate Hostname quarry.slate-gravel.com User fred ...but when I try to use it: [SNIP] host ssh slate ssh: Could not resolve hostname slate: no address associated with name host [/SNIP] What am I missing here? Thanks, Mike

RE: ssh config
Well that was it, thanks, but why is ssh looking there? I thought it (and all other apps) used HOME on cygwin?

I do think of cygwin as a Windows environment more than Unix, so some of these things get by me. In years past, I would just set HOME and all was well. Thanks, Mike
Re: ssh config
Let's clarify something here. ~ is always the same as $HOME. If you change $HOME - within bash - then ~ changes too: $ HOME=/bogus/directory $ echo ~ /bogus/directory HOME starts out set to whatever's in /etc/passwd, but you can change it. For that reason, security-conscious programs like ssh ignore $HOME and go by what's in /etc/passwd (which, on a real Unix system, an unprivileged user can't change). So changing $HOME is asking for trouble, basically. -- Mark J.
