So I went to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/preinstall_req_cygwin_ssh.htm
and I am kind of stuck at 5.4.4 where it recommends Backup the c:\cygwin\etc\passwd file and then use any editor to open the file in edit mode. Remove only those entries of the user that you will use to connect to the host on which you want to install a Management Agent. Ask the user to make a backup of the c:\cygwin\etc\passwd file before editing. I am over my head with this. Which ones do I remove? And then the next step leaves me even deeper under water. Waiting for your help.
