Ok thanks, I thought that may be the case, a pity. I would have thought wanting a seamless-"pre-authenticated"-X11-forwarded connection to a unix box is something that would be highly desired and in common use under Cygwin, I guess not :( Unfortuantly the solaris machine I connect to doesn't use keys, is there something else I could do which would allow me to run *local* xterms/rxvt's to this box without having to type in the password everytime? (I realise I can start remote xterms fine, but the remote terms aren't as good :P ).
