Hello,
I installed Cygwin on a machine with Windows XP and started the service sshd.
I would like to connect from another machine (client) via ssh, run a Windows
application on the server and view the window on the client. I do not want to
use vnc, I just want to run a single application, not the desktop of the
server that is used by another user.
I manage to connect via ssh but, when I try to open an application, like
notepad, it does not appear on the client screen.
Thank you for any hint,
--
Mauro

Specify the '--interactive' flag to 'cygrunsrv' when you install 'sshd'.

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.

Right, sorry. I don't know how I missed the "view the window on the client"
part.

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?

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.
