I just installed cygwin on Windows XP along with WinX and ssh. Then I ssh to a linux system and can type in bash but <enter> doesn't work. So I can't do much ;) What could be affecting this? I can't find any key mapping config or anything like that.

I can run vnc, putty, plink and telnet and etc from XP to linux just fine. But since I use ssh from linux to linux, thought I'd play with cygwin and ssh from XP.

Are you just using the default cywin shell/dos window to do the ssh? I
would suggest trying rxvt.exe or a full Xwindows/xterm and ssh from
there. If you do one of them, does everything work?

I can't stand using the default shell window because of the terminal
interactions. I always use rxvt.

I've never had a problem with <enter> in that situation, but it's
something to try. I can't imagine what in openssh might be contributing
to this or not.

I was using xterm, but I figured out it was user screwup when my other tools (vnc/putty/etc) started showing the same behavior. I had edited ..inputrc, probably through cygwin, and I guess my editor got confused about whether it was windows or linux and screwed up the end of line chars. I edited it again and saved with unix eol and it's all working now.

Thanks
