rcp, rsh don't work on Vista?

I'm setting up my usual environment on Vista (Ultimate) and I found that the Windows versions of rcp and rsh appear not to be distributed with Vista. So I turned to the Cygwin versions and found they don't seem to run - although all the other Cygwin ports I've used seem to work fine. I get: rcp

Re: rcp, rsh don't work on Vista?

Thank you both, you were both right :) There *was* a cygwin1.dll in windows/system32, marked system and hidden... And I agree I should learn to live without rcp. (For now I'm using ftp via wget.) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cy

Wish Setup would accept my Perl

I've been using ActiveState Perl and Cygwin together for years and have only one complaint: Setup keeps hassling me about dependencies and I have to make sure always to uncheck Perl in the setu list (and again in the dependency check) or I end up with two Perl installations, which I don't want.
