This will only pop up notepad (or any other windowed application) on the *server's* desktop. What the OP wants is forwarding of individual graphical apps over ssh, and this can't be done with Windows apps. Perhaps a remote desktop solution of some sort will work.

* Windows 2003 and sshd 2004-05-03 15:31 ` Larry Hall 2004-05-03 15:39 ` Igor Pechtchanski @ 2004-05-03 21:50 ` Stephen Treger 1 sibling, 0 replies; 6+ messages in thread From: Stephen Treger @ 2004-05-03 21:50 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Cygwin List Hello, I had a RedHat box, the sole purpose was to be the intermediate between a secure host and public for moving data files in/out. Obviously this was done solely upon ssh (scp/sftp). For numerous reasons we decided to reconfigure as Windows 2003 Server with CygWin and openssh. I took a XP workstation, loaded CygWin with the required openssh and openssl components, populated the passwd and group files from our AD using the -d options on mkpasswd and mkgroup respectively and then installed sshd as a service. It was the coolest thing, I would ssh in as a user listed in the passwd file, but never having logged into the box before, and it automatically created a home directory and populated it with the skeleton files. First login produced some warnings, but after that the directory was set up properly and everything worked. So I duplicate on the Windows 2003 box. Hmm, if I don't create the home directories manually users are instantly rejected. Some users out there claimed I must run a script (fixperms.sh) for it all to work properly and securely; I did and now am worse off than before. I get errors reprting no rights to the shell (though the user does have rx to the various shells). So I thought I would start over with CygWin on the 2003 box, but when I deleted and reinstalled all the weird permissions still existed. Anybody got a really good HOW-TO on this? I need multiple users to have their own secure home directories, a couple of additional logins that are in a "admin" group and can control those directories. If I need to jail them, how do you do that under cygwin and is it feasible? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

This will not work unless the application is an X Windows program. Native windows apps cannot be used remotely with ssh, because they are not network-aware. This may be possible with remote desktop/terminal server/etc, but it's outside the scope of Cygwin. All that ssh can do is forward a stream of bytes across the connection. The application must be designed to work in this manner, such as X11 apps. Ssh cannot work miracles.
