I did diff the strace output with and without allowing access to the DNS lookup, and there are no significant differences. > > For how long a while haven't you updated?

It has probably been 2 months since I updated. I have no '//c' in my paths Please let me know if there is anything else I can do. While I am certain that something about the cygwin upgrade ssh install caused this change, it seems toaffect other applictaions too (ipconfig now does a DNS request too, which it neverused to do) Thanks, Geoff -- Geoffrey Hausheer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
