I've had a look at this but I'm a bit stumped by the nomachine.com nx client.

This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL. Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start-Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you are unable to find another cygwin DLL. 159955652 [main] zsh 3288 fork_parent: child 3752 died waiting for longjmp before initialization zsh: fork failed: interrupt --- Uninstalling the nx client and rebooting fixes the fault which installing introduced. The knowledge base seems to gloss over this problem - claiming in separate articles that it is cosmetic or a known problem. I guess, given that I need cygwin, that my only option is to wait and hope the nx client for windows is fixed at some point? Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Filesystem access to Gentoo from XP over SSH - suggestions?
What would be the easiest way to somehow map a network drive on my Gentoo server from Windows given that I need to tunnel over SSH? Could you try something like WebDAV? It should be easy to forward the necessary port over ssh to a web server on your Gentoo box. Plus, XP has built-in support for WebDAV through its Web Folders stuff.

For file editing, I use vim, but nano would be more user friendly. putty is nice because you can download the executable from the internet and don't even have to install, just run the executable. I have used tightvnc to access a remote box, which gives you the desktop, and it can be tunneled over ssh. Very nice. The fastest desktop product is nx and nxserver. It is not opensource, but I believe there is some provision for personal use. I would guess that it can be tunneled over ssh. Not sure about the mapping.

Re: [gentoo-user] Filesystem access to Gentoo from XP over SSH - suggestions?
I have tried shfs ( a kernel module allowing the reomote mount of filesystems over ssh) in the past but over less than perfect connections had file system corruption. Lately I am using WebDav (via davfs or cadaver), both running on my own server, and mounting other systems I have access to onto my laptop as I move around with good success. Gentoo's implementation of davfs is clunky and problematic to manage (interfacing with fstab, having to kill a process after unmounting), but it works reliably.
