I am still working on making it easier. As we type, I am trying to eliminate the need for a password by creating a public and a private key.
Later David Kirk [Robert Fisher] Good. I have been having a bit of a play here. I can use PuTTY to ssh to a SuSE box here (after changing a line in sshd_config to PasswordAuthentication yes) and my password is accepted. If I use <cygwin_dir>/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat the same password is not accepted. <cygwin_dir>/usr/X11R6/bin/startxdmcp.bat works just fine though. I can send the full sshd_config file if anyone wants to peruse it. Rob
