Hi,

I follow the instruction in the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide of installing
the XFree86.

When I used the "ssh -X" as described in the manual, I got the following
error. Do you have any suggestion of what I have done wrong. I am running
WinNt with service pack 6a on. I am using the latest version of
Cygwin/XFree86 and the host is a Solaris 2.6 server.

ssh -X -l username hostname
hostname's password:
Write failed: The descriptor is a file, not a socket


Regards,
Paul Yeung
