The problem is, if you're in a session, there are two sshd processes running: Gerrit@ISMENE ~ $ ssh ismene Enter passphrase for key '/home/Gerrit/.ssh/id_rsa': Last login: Mon Jul 30 09:05:44 2001 from ismene.192.168.5.5 Fanfare!!! You are successfully logged in to this server!!! Gerrit@ISMENE ~ $ ps -e 259 221 259 254 3 11002 16:11:39 /usr/bin/ssh 258 1 116 258 ? 18 16:11:40 /usr/sbin/sshd 146 279 279 137 ? 18 16:13:48 /usr/sbin/sshd BUT, you can see at the time row how long each process is running and so you know what the parent is. If you do '$ cygrunsrv -E sshd' your session will be stopped and you are still logged in at the child sshd. $ cygrunsrv -E sshd $ ps -e | grep ssh 259 221 259 254 3 11002 16:11:39 /usr/bin/ssh 258 1 116 258 ? 18 16:11:40 /usr/sbin/sshd Then you may change whatever is needed and restart the *service* $ cygrunsrv -S sshd $ ps -e | grep ssh 259 221 259 254 3 11002 16:11:39 /usr/bin/ssh 258 1 116 258 ? 18 16:11:40 /usr/sbin/sshd 223 115 115 253 ? 18 16:16:16 /usr/sbin/sshd I hope it works, but i am not in the position to give a guarantee for that:-) gph -- gerrit.haase@convey.de -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
