Thorsten, thank you. I had to adjust some folder permissions and grant some special privileges (as described at the end of this page: http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~kscully/CygwinSSHD_W2K3.html), but once I did that it seemed to work, at least running under a User rather than Local System account. Jeremy: thank you also - ProcessMonitor is very useful, and I'm using it to compare the behaviour of the working (local) and non-working (over SSH) instances. It's going to take me some time to sift though them, but there are big differences: Working: http://pastebin.com/W30xcT6P Non-working: http://pastebin.com/Xt3an4Qs The two logs diverge massively at line 12. The working instance appears to start scanning the filesystem, whereas the non-working instance starts going through registry keys. I'm not 100% convinced I'm comparing oranges with oranges here, but I'm hoping there's a clue somewhere. I'll be spending some time trying to deduce what the problem might be, but if anyone looks at those logs and can easily tell me, I'd really appreciate it! :) Thanks, -- David. -- 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
