ok. maybe my last post was somewhat unclear. What I want is to be able to run is: $ ssh user@host ...from an xterm window under cygwin/XFree86. Whenever I try that, it connects, and then disconnects right after I get connected. If I run ssh from cygwin without running X, it works like a charm.

from the ssh manpage: -X Enables X11 forwarding. This can also be specified on a per-host basis in a configuration file. "Enables X11 forwarding". This is NOT what I want to do. I simply want to get a login session on the remote machine. This problem is really getting to me now.

Thanx for the input! I believe "ssh -x" is the default behaviour, but even when I say -x I get the same symptoms. What really confuses me is that it all works like a charm if I run: $ ssh ...without starting X. (i.e click on the "cygwin icon" (C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat) -- and start an interactive

Umm, how embarrassing... I got confused between OpenSSH and SSH Secure Shell. Apologies to all. Jay, ssh has a special mode where it forwards X requests over the ssh connection. It's called X forwarding, and is enabled by either the -X command line option or a special entry in ~/.ssh/config (I
