Have you tried to confirm that you don't have an alias, shell function, or script named ssh that is masking the real ssh binary? Something like that could be calling the real ssh with some arguments that are invalid under the latest version. What do you get when you run the following: type -a ssh Have you tried installing a fresh copy of Cygwin to a new directory to see if the problem recurs in that instance? If the problem happens in one but not the other when they should be otherwise identical, a diff over the directories might track down the problem. If the problem happens in both places, maybe you have some other software installed on your system that is somehow interfering. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
