hi,
I just upgraded cygwin and now I cannot login to the machine via ssh unless I change /etc/passwd to use /bin/bash for my shell.
same here after a cygwin update (windows 2000, cygwin 1.5.17): - zsh as login shell for non-administrator = login via sshd hangs (!) - bash as login shell for non-administrator = login via sshd works fine - zsh as login shell for the administrator = login via sshd works fine workaround: use cygwin1.dll release 1.5.14, .{15,16,17} won't work ... - stop cygwin sshd and all other cygwin-related processes - locate cygwin-1.5.14-1.tar.bz2 via google - extract usr/bin/cygwin1.dll from cygwin-1.5.14-1.tar.bz2 - backup /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (!), then - replace /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll in the cygwin installation tree - start cygwin sshd - voila, zsh works as login shell again :o) hope this helps. regards, martin -- 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/
