This works fine, but we still get the ugly ssh-style password > prompt - just a thought, but is there anything available under cygwin to > front end this with a username/password pop-up window? That'd be ideal :)
Maybe x11-ssh-askpass may help here http://www.jmknoble.net/software/x11-ssh-askpass/ The same for windows http://www.ganaware.jp/S/win-ssh-askpass/ So the statup script is #!/bin/bash export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 export SSH_ASKPASS="/usr/bin/win-ssh-askpass.exe" ssh -f -X <host> -l username "/opt/SAS82/sas" This should bring up a window for the password. Unfortunatly the testing with cygwin openssh did not work properly. I'll take a look if this is disabled with the cygwin build- bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
