Realistically, you really only need ssh.exe and cygwin1.dll to make ssh
connections with the Cygwin port of OpenSSH.  You may get a few errors
about not being able to find the ~/.ssh directory and writing to the
known_hosts file, but with a few tweaks (creating a
C:\Cygwin\home\%username%, creating a C:\Cygwin\etc, creating a
C:\Cygwin\bin and putting cygwin1.dll and ssh.exe in there).  You can
even create a c:\cygwin\etc\ssh_config to set up specific options for
your clients.  You'd probably also want to add C:\cygwin\bin to the path
on each machine.

You could also attempt a minimal installation of Cygwin's setup and just
install things like openssh, openssl, binutils, fileutils, bash, ash and
others to have a minimal environment (ie: leaving out gcc, dejagnu,
ssmtp, ....).

Hope that helps,

Subject: CLS SSH 4 Win2K


We're setting up a CVS repository for Jbuilder4 Enterprise. We have our
Linux and Solaris environments working (the CVS repository lives on a
Linux box), but we are having problems with Win2K clients. In order for
":ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:subdir" to work we need a command line interface of
ssh. A straight port would be fine. I would really not want to have to
setup a gcc build environment (Cygwin) on every client and we have no VC
build environment (latest we have is MS-VC v5). Yes, we have MindTerm,
but that's not a CLI, only executable from CLI.

Can someone help?
