Ronald, you should post that to the cygwin mailing list. And be more
specific. AFAIK, rsync is a cygwin package.
Search the cygwin mail list archives.
I discovered a long standing issue with rsync on Cygwin that to the
best of my knowledge was never resolved, it fails under certain

This is EXACTLY the behavior I'm getting am describing as a hang, except
that I don't get a xterm. The reason I'm trying to track it down is that I
would *really* like to drop a link to startxwin.bat into my startup folder and

STARTXWIN.BAT is hanging on the startup under Win2KPro. If I run it, it
will stall out - I can't right-click on the X icon in the system tray to
bring up the menu, and when I examine the processes, it appears that
XWin.exe is running, as well as an xterm.exe process, but no XTerm ever pops
up.
I've tried to start several graphical aplications, like xmgrace, twm or xpdf
and I get always the same message Can't open display: It seems there is
no display configured for the X server.
On the other hand, Xwin starts the Xserver with no error messages.
You must have the DISPLAY variable set
There have been several posts in regard to the ssh -X/-Y hang, with no
resolution.
A simplistic work around is to simply not use xauth.exe. If the port
that the X server is running on (i.e. 6000 by default) is only

Cygwin/X/putty and X-Win32/StarnetSSH work fine, so this seems to be a
Cygwin issue...
The only way I've been able to use either the -X or -Y switches is to
uninstall ZoneAlarm, shutting it down is insufficient.

Still sounds like a ZoneAlarm issue. It's worth another look.
There was a time when this worked with ZoneAlarm, from the best I can
recall, it was after a Cygwin update that it broke. My older system
that I mentioned, is running almost the lastest ZA with an older
Cygwin install and it works
Freezes: I type my password, hit enter, and I don't get any additional

What are you running for a firewall? ZoneAlarm, Norton...

1. I am not running Zone Alarm 5 and I have Windows firewall turned off.
I have found that turning the firewall off in some cases isn't enough
and/or is worse that leaving it on in diagnosing these types of
problem. If you believe ZA is causing the problem, either turn it on
and allow the
But now I just realized the obvious: Only X GUIS work and not windows.
Is this correct?
Yes!
I assume I can tunnel rdesktop the same way I tunnel vnc? I guess I'll try
tunneling both vnc and rdesktop next.
I've heard this works, but have not tried personally. If you get this

Other than the usual issues with bash and sshd, I suddenly found that

Have not made much progress, however did find a work around that
others might find useful. Also interested if others are experiencing
the issue.
