Sorry but this is not a help list. If you want help please use the main
cygwin list.
This is from the list description at http://cygwin.com/lists.html:
Note that this is not a place to send bug reports or questions about
utilities like ssh, cron, etc. Please use the main Cygwin list for
these types of questions. If you have an issue and hope that someone
will look into it for you then please do not send email here. This is
a mailing list for doers not musers.
Please use the main cygwin list.
