Odd. To change to csh with sshd I have /bin/tcsh in /etc/passwd. I then wanted to automatically switch to CMD so I tried /cygdrive/c/.../cmd.exe but I was getting extra newlines from cmd. I ended up switching to tcsh in /etc/passwd and using a .login containing
exec cmd /q to stop the newlines. Perhaps you can try a .profile with an exec to fish? --------------------------------- Hm. So this is documented in "The db_shell setting" at https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch. AFAICT, the only useful option there for my purposes is to set db_shell = /bin/fish After restarting sshd, this does make fish my login shell. Of course, it makes fish the login shell for every other user on the host too, but for single-user hosts such as mine, that works fine. Thanks.
