They used to work fine. This is usually due to a missing dependency. You can try "echo $?" after one of the failing commands. If it is 127, that's probably the issue. I usually track down the missing dependency by running the program under strace (strace ssh --help). It should pop-up a dialog window with the missing dependency library. -- David Rothenberger ---- daveroth@acm.org -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
