Of course, that won't work when someone upgrades, because they won't need to run ssh-host-config if they've already run it in the past. It's a pity that Cygwin doesn't use RPM -- if it did, the openssh package could have a postinstall script to do the right thing :-). I suppose at minimum, the socketpair-enabled versions of ssh and sshd could be included in the package as /usr/bin/ssh-nt.exe and /usr/bin/sshd-nt.exe, and people who are having problems could invoke ssh-nt or sshd-nt explicitly or rename ssh-nt and sshd-nt to replace ssh and sshd. Ugh. jik
