There have been a few spurious reports over the years of people getting this to work post-XP with Cygwin's OpenSSH but never anything reliable and reproducible. So if there's a magic bullet, no one has been able to classify it even if they can find it. Or at least no one has reported it here. And while I would agree that PsExec seems to be able to make some magic happen where ssh can't, it's also pretty clear that PsExec's magic is compromising your system security, which is the exact opposite of OpenSSH's intent. Maybe it would be possible to take the best of both worlds but one would at least need the code to PsExec to evaluate first before making a definitive statement on whether this would even be possible. Since the source code to PsExec isn't available from the Sysinternals site, this avenue appears to be blocked. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
