Hello, I try to start port forwarding shortly after boot by using cygrunsrv.
$ cygrunsrv -Q forward5729 Service : forward5729 Current State : Stopped Command : /usr/bin/ssh -v -f -2 -N -L 5729:localhost:5729 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unfortunately this will not work for me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ tail /var/log/forward5729.log : debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.3 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.3 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address Host key verification failed.
