A collegue of mine have recently wandered into the following in his desperate attempts to work out what the fuck cygwin is trying to do (from http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html): Please don't send any questions to the cygwin mailing list to ask questions about this page as it seems to provoke them severely. They considered and declared the instructions on this page "broken" and "random" but won't constructively say what is "broken"; instead some went on launching personal attacks. The information here is provided "as is, in good faith" with no guarantee it will work. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Don't send any questions to the Cygwin mailing list to ask why and provoke them. If you must go to Cygwin mailing list to ask, you better completely remove Cygwin before you go to the mailing list to ask questions and don't even mention that you have looked at this web page (to avoid pissing them off). P.S. Didn't Microsoft plan to call their "shell of the future" (?) msh? Or did they hack up several shells so they can be incompatible to each other for compatibility with the tradition of shells?
