I've verified on two machines running XP Pro with up-to-date Cygwin
installations that upgrading from openssh 3.8.1p1-1 to openssh 3.9p1-1
breaks sshd when running with privilege separation (the default).
Clients (including ssh localhost) can not log into the Cygwin sshd.
Either turning off

I am not asking for all the semantics, just the ones that are
documented (user guide 3.5) to exist for all Cygwin symlinks.
The Cygwin FAQ says that there is no `su' command in recent versions
of Cygwin, The sh-utils package, however, currently contains an `su'
command, but it doesn't work. The shell transcript below illustrates
the problem. You have to trust me that I offer the same password to
`su' as I do to
The following shell transcript demonstrates that `ln' does not handle
the .exe extension gracefully, like mkshortcut does.
I believe graceful behavior would require the following changes:
1) `ln' would not give the two errors below when trying to create
hardlink-to-base and
I do not understand why the Cygwin mount table should be different in
the bash shell that I launch with cygwin.bat or rxvt.exe than the
mount table I get when I ssh to the host with the same user. The
shell transcript below illustrates the difference. The Windows drives

I have observed the following reproducible strange behavior of chmod.
You will notice that several of the commands do something different
than they would do on a Unix system (I've marked these commands with
!!! in the right margin). I think chmod is doing the wrong thing in
those cases, but
I have been using Cygwin with a value CYGWIN=ntsec ntea binmode tty
for a long time under Win2k and WinXP with NTFS hard drives. On
rereading the documentation, it seems to me that the ntea and
ntsec values select different solutions to the same problem, and
that there is no reason to set both.
Back in January on this list, there was a short discussion of porting
nfs servers, userspace and otherwise. Is there one available now? I
tried to compile the userspace server from
ftp://linux.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/people/okir/ but it
needs a lot of headers under
yet, but that should not be hard to
fix. (See a comment on buggy(?) behavior of type -p.)
I probably won't do more with this than fix that sometime.

Amazing -- I tested it a dozen times, but I must have deleted it.
It's there now, and I won't touch it again! Thanks for the heads-up.
