Re: Strange problem wiith Cygwin ssh-still no luck :-(

[Bindaas Guy <codecfella at yahoo dot com>]

Hi,
Reading that part about network drives, I tried
disconnecting all the remote drives from the machine(
Maybe the installer, while initilizing was checking
out the system resources..??) but still no luck. The
setup still fails with error 67. But maybe there IS
some issue with drive permissions..?? I set up sshd to
run in interactive mode so that i could use the setup
GUI instead of the standard silent install i was
using...I noticed a strange thing here: The licence
agreement which the setup displays (and i presume it
loads up the agreement text from a file ) was not
displayed when logged in without password..simply an
empty box with the "i agree /disagree" options... .
Again, logging in with password has no problems and
setup displays the licence file correctly.. The
install image is stored in the c:\cygwin\tmp directory
and the temporary files are stored in c:\winnt\Temp. I
don't see any visible need to access network drives
here......I'm still confused :-(
