RE: SOLVED 1.7.1 ssh-agent hangs with 100% cpu


Having trouble with ssh-agent since upgrading cygwin to 1.7.x.

I start the ssh-agent, which is fine, but then if I try and to a "ssh-add" or "ssh", that process hangs and ssh-agent starts using 100% of a cpu.

I've managed to track down what was causing this problem (as well as the rsync hang, see "1.7.1 rsync handing with "Failed to dup/close" error message").


It is being caused by the installation of version 2.7 of ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus software. I've checked version 4 and it does not cause this problem, however if you are still using 2.7 the following work-around exists:

1. Open the NOD32 Control Center [sic] and then select "IMON" from the "Thread Protection Modules"
2. Click the "Setup" button.
3. Select the "Miscellaneous" tab.
4. Click the "Edit" button in the "Exclusion" group box.
5. Add c:\cygwin\bin\ssh-agen.exe. (Add c:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe too while you're there.)
6. Click "OK" and then "OK" to save the changes and you're done.
