okay so once again:

i have vista with cygwin (current snap) and the command 'rsh <server_ip>' causes the prompt to hang forever.
it works with cygwin on xp so it should be a vista issue.
i posted the server info already some days ago as well as the cygcheck output.

You're telling that you tested this on XP for the first time now.
well i used the rsh server with about 8 different platforms and it worked with all but vista/cygwin.
  You
didn't mentioned the server OS anywhere in this thread.
i did. look again.
  We only know
it's not Cygwin and it's not Linux but some sort of "real" unix(*) which
apparently doesn't use PAM.  You didn't tell if you tried anything to
diagnose the problem further.
i did. i've send the cygcheck output with my first mail.
  You did not mention if you ever tested it
in other scenarios, like a Cygwin -> Linux or a Cygwin -> Cygwin
connection or between XP->Vista and Vista->XP, etc.
well as i wrote the server is always the same and it worked with whatever i tried except vista/cygwin
You didn't reply to
Dave's question about any specific software on the Vista machine.
yes, i did.
There's just the bare fact "it hangs in this one instance". Do you
really think a bug report is useful with all that guesswork left?
see above.
not my fault if you missed so much.
Apart from that, I have only Cygwin and Linux ready for testing and
debugging.  If you use any other OS, you will have to debug this problem
by yourself.
okay, how?
i don't get any kind of output at all
