Hello I was able to see some "action" by turning the "NoInteractiveSercvices" option OFF in the registry. So now when I try to run notepad.exe from the ssh shell, it asks me whether I'd like to see the "message" and when I click yes, I see some "window-like" thing on the desktop at which point the desktop apparently hangs.
On prodding further, I realize that if I disable the windows service which checks whether a certain service is trying to "interact", I see nothing in the desktop and everything is just like it was before I started this exploration. Has anyone been able to get around this problem? On the other hand, where can I get to read the log of the cygwin SSHD?? /var/log/sshd.log is empty? where does CYGWIN sshd does the logging?? AFAIK it used to be this file. Has that changed?? On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 3:19 PM, Aijaz Baig <aijazba...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello > > I am SSH'ing into a windows 10 box from a Linux box.
