I am trying to connect a client program running on unix to a server
program running on cygwin without success. I also tried to connect from
unix to cygwin with ssh, ftp, ... but without success as well. When I
looked on net, it says that I first have to allow hostname or ip-address
in xorg-conf (equivalent file) of the remote host to be connected. is
there any idea about this issue? Thanks in advance for your help

For ssh, have you seen e.g.
http://www.noah.org/ssh/cygwin-sshd.html
? I haven't done that in a long time, but have
used cygrunsrv to run a buildbot server in cygwin for some time.
The line I use to create a service is:
# Must use "run as administrator" to run the cygwin terminal
that runs this script!
cygrunsrv -I buildmaster-$projname --path /bin/sh --args
"$SRC/bmaster.sh run $projname"
I didn't have to do anything funny with networking.

If you've followed this mailing list for any length of time you'd notice
that we don't really endorse the instructions from random other web
sites. They are often out-of-date and contain needless instructions.
This web site is no exception. The CYGWIN= suggestion is wrong.
Just use the instructions from /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README
Btw, Corinna, this file suggests setting ntsec. That likely should
just be deleted.

What's the prevailing thought on a wiki (presumably one
set up like the glibc one, by invite only, to avoid spammers)?
I found various posts on this list over the years, but no
obvious interest.

That file is not very easily discovered (despite the FAQ entry
that explains that convention). Can you add a link to
an static index of all those files from http://cygwin.com/docs.html ?
That might make googling
openssh server cygwin
more likely to find it.
Hrmph, just found http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
That just seems wrong...

Wow, thank for the reminder. I didn't change that file for ages.
I ripped off any unneeded stuff now and only describe how to set up the
host and user config, as well as how to build with cygport.
I sent a patch upstream, so this will be available in the next OpenSSH
version.
