Being a long time reader of this list and witnessing the volume of email about the current OpenSSH package (I'm not implying any problem with Corinna's work on this!), I agree with Chris's opinion that it is unlikely to help if there is yet another Cygwin package with an 'ssh' implementation as part of it. To me, at least, that's what makes 'ssh' so special. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
