There are a couple of problems: - OpenSSH is at 5.3p1, not at 5.1p1, so the patches probably won't apply cleanly to the latest from CVS. - There is no cygwin-packages repository, there's only a cygwin-apps repository. - OpenSSH is not maintained in cygwin-apps, but entirely upstream by the OpenBSD community. See http://www.openssh.com/portable.html. - The Cygwin version of OpenSSH is also maintained in the upstream source tree. For CVS access to that tree, see the aforementioned web page at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html. There's no Cygwin-specific patch which hasn't been accepted in the upstream repository and, as the Cygwin OpenSSH maintainer, I'm not willing to apply Cygwin-specific patches which won't go upstream. - I'm very certain that the patch won't be accepted upstream, since there's nothing you can say which will the upstream maintainers convince to allow to specify a cleartext password on the command line. - Last but not least, with Cygwin 1.7 there are very likely other solutions to your problems, see the Cygwin User's Guide at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid-overview and especially at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd2 and http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd3 Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- 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
