You're actually telling this for the first time.

I did. I examined every mail in this thread and you don't mention the
server OS beside of "and that box was a 'real' unix box?" in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00090.html and "i'm neither using
pam nor linux" in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00184.html.
If you really mentioned the server OS, please point me to your mail.

Sending the cygcheck output is not exactly what I understand as
diagnosing the problem.

In your original mail http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00076.html
you write "this is about using rsh with cygwin on vista". You don't
mention any other combination.

Where? I don't see a reply from you to Dave's mail in

Examining logfiles? strace? gdb?
Anyway, you have the problem, so it should be in your interest to
provide all information you can lay your hands on. I will probably look
into this issue again if the details are provided. Otherwise this is
EOD for me.
