Recently, probably after upgrading ssh to openssh-3.9p1-2, ssh appeared to hang, whether invoked by itself or as transport for cvs.
Well, the culprit was xauth, or rather X forwarding. Starting ssh invoked xauth which subsequently hung because X wasn't running, even though DISPLAY was defined. Unsetting DISPLAY if X isn't running will cure the problem. kind regards Peter Ring -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
