My problem: When I opened an ssh session from an OpenBSD or Linux box to my XP system I got the following
$ ssh whoops.thoughts.thinkage.ca Last login: Mon Mar 28 11:15:25 2005 from mail.thinkage.ca Fanfare!!! You are successfully logged in to this server!!! bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create! -bash: /etc/profile: Permission denied -bash: /pjf/.bash_profile: Permission denied -bash-2.05b$ exit logout -bash: /pjf/.bash_logout: Permission denied Connection to whoops.thoughts.thinkage.ca closed. While it was in this mode. Bash could only execute some of its build in commands (i.e. echo and set). Bash could not access the file system at all. A "cd" would fail for example. No external commands could be started at all. The good news, is the changes that you had me make in the cygwin environment did fix the problem. I can now successful ssh into my windows system and execute commands.
