You'll need to create a shortcut to rxvt. I use this as my shortcut target:
C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -rv -geometry 80x40 -fn "Lucida Console" +sb -sl 1024 -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i
An alternative solution is to configure the termcap or terminfo on the remote host to recognize the cygwin terminal type.

Everyone, I hate to ask you this, but I'm just too green. Before we get into the rightful rattletrap about GUI crutches, my end users are all Win-dependent, and anything that I can remotely kick off and force their hand at is more beautiful than you'd ever know.
I have installed Cygwin on a Windows 98 and 2000 computer (twice over, two different boxes), and have been able to command-prompt over to my new Mandrake Linux 9.1 computers. I can even get to root, of course! I simply can't get the GUI to come up, when I attempt to run things like MCC (Mandrake Control Center). I get this message:
Unknown terminal: cygwin Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. tset: unknown terminal type cygwin Terminal type?
Now at this point, I get to enter either "cygwin" (which ends up saying, again, "Unknown terminal: cygwin") or "vt100" (just to shut it up). At that point, I get a remark that says
Erase is backspace.
And that's that. Being incredibly new, I'm not even certain *where* to look. I can say, however, that I *suspect* that it's because I haven't defined something on either of my linux b0x3n. And that I'm a total newbie.
Thanks for the help. Seriously.
