For remotely executed stuff (an rsh-like program that allows execution of commands on a windows host), I use the trick of setting it on the command line. (It's unlike rsh in that it returns exit codes, and it pre-dates sshd for windows.) For stuff executed on the windows machine, we use a system env var that has it set. -- 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
