Subject: Re: Connecting to cygwin ssh is slow

I came across the very same thing this morning, ironically for the same reasons. After deciding ssh was too slow and seeing some dns errors show up in the log i went to edit sshd_config to remove dns and found as you did that I couldn't. It would seem this was because sshd was running (not that

_set_fmode?

Is there a cygwin analogue to the msvc _set_fmode()? That is, a function that sets the default mode of fopen, even if you don't explicitly specify it "rb" or whatever. Obviously, there's "use binary (or text) mounts". Less obviously, you can link against /usr/lib/binary.o (or -lbinmode), or text.
